Bag it Duluth – From the website…
“This effort helps connect the different values we individually embrace, linking us as a community:
• as an outdoor City, we want to show case and keep our landscapes and water clean
• we are an award winning City, one that leads the state and country
• we are a City and community that cares about our children and future generations
• we are prudent and use our financial and natural resources wisely
• we work to minimize and alleviate unnecessary suffering to wildlife
• we are a City that shares an unspoken feeling about the sacred beauty and connection we feel to this place we call home
Fortunately, many businesses and citizens already practice many of the behaviors the legislation aims to encourage.”
