The Seattle Times today captured the essence of the contest over the green fee, championed by a local grassroots coalition and opposed by out of state corporate interests. They get it that this is about reducing our run-away bag consumption, and not a tax to generate revenue.
This article has gone national, with the story immediately picked up by the Associated Press. It’s important that Seattle be the leader in this campaign, especially now that the nation’s eyes are on us. As the election approaches, it’s all the more important that we make sure that Referendum 1, defending sustainable living, wins at the polls in spite of the opposition we face from big lobbies like the ACC. Donate to the campaign and volunteer for our grass-roots efforts to turn back Big Oil and the Plastics Industry!
