Lawrence City Commission to begin discussion of proposal to ban single-use plastic bags

After recently requesting to take up the issue again, city leaders will soon consider whether to pursue an ordinance that would ban single-use plastic bags. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission is scheduled to receive a recently approved recommendation from the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board to ban single-use plastic bags provided at checkout and begin an educational campaign about their environmental impact.
