BAGS - OUTREACH & EDUCATION

Many regulations contain specifics for outreach and education, including reusable bag giveaways, which can be done in low-income communities to address financial concerns. Since education is crucial to the success of both passing and implementing policies, it would be good to get the language to support this in the policy itself for once the law passes.

EXAMPLES

New York City had significant education requirements as a good model section 16-495

Leaf Rapids, Manitoba included education component for young people and citizens

Los Angeles County requires paper bag fees to cover costs for educational materials + campaigns promoting reusable bags section 12.85.040
