Reusable Bags: Activist Abby Fights On!

Green Issues, Plastic Bag Bans,

We first introduced you to Abby Goldberg three years ago (almost to the day!).

As a 13 year old in 2012, she helped persuade former Illinois Governor Pat Quinn into vetoing legislation that would have created a statewide plastic bag recycling program, while at the same time forbidding local bans on plastic bag.

Last week, their bag project fell apart. The vendor they chose couldn’t meet their deadline after all, and they turned to us for help. A month ago, we could have easily accommodated them, but at that point they had to either rush the order or forego the project.  Continue reading →
