The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Consumer Retail Choice Act of 2010 is being introduced into the Maryland Legislature and Senate. Aimed at reducing the amount of single-use bags littering our local waterways, this bill will levy a fee on disposable plastic and paper bags. The collected fees will be devoted to the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays 2010 Trust Fund, for restoration and protection efforts.
Contact your representatives in MD and ask them to support this important environmental bill.
