A group of Kent residents has started a drive to adopt a city ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags.
Bag Busters – People for a Plastic Free Kent, will gather signatures for a petition drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16 at the Kent Regional Library, 212 Second Ave. N. The group wants a ban similar to the one the Seattle City Council adopted in 2011.
The group will hand out flyers on Friday to explain the reasons it believes plastic bags are bad for the city and the environment.
