I contacted my Alder

The plastic bag legislation was introduced and has been referred to committee.  Time to take some action. 

First I had to figure out who our alder is...Lucky for me..right on the City's website you can click on  "Find your Alder"   Ours is Chris Schmidt.

Also lucky for me...I could write an email to Chris right on the website...so I did...see below..

Chris: I noticed that legislation related to plastic bags is being considered in Madison. I'm a little disappointed that it is to recycle clean bags as opposed to just banning all plastic bags which has been done successfully in other cities and countries. What is your perspective on this..and if I want to get involved ...any advice? Thanks, Julie
