Hello everyone, Gainesville is very close to banning plastic bags & Styrofoam but just fell a vote short. The article states they won't take this matter up until 2019. We need to urge the City Commission to bring this back sooner than later. Please email the Mayor & Commissioners at the addresses listed below. This will help tremendously. Be respectful and state why you support such a ban and the positive impact it'll have our our ecosystem and their goal of waste reduction in Gainesville. poelb@cityofgainesville.org, warrenhk@cityofgainesville.org, BuddHM@cityofgainesville.org, GostonCE@cityofgainesville.org, wardhl@cityofgainesville.org, arreoladi@cityofgainesville.org, hayessantosa@cityofgainesville.org, citycomm@cityofgainesville.org
