A survey conducted on behalf of a Wichita government task force found that most respondents supported either a city-wide ban of single-use plastic bags or a fee to discourage their use. The survey was conducted to help task force members gauge citizen interest in measures that would reduce or ban plastic bag use and was developed by researchers at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita. With just over 2,000 responses, the survey has limitations. However, of the Wichitans who did respond to it, 71% said they would support a complete ban on single-use plastic bags.
