Another City, Another Ban!

Congratulations to the newest city to approve a plastic bag ban - Portland! The measure passed city council unanimously this afternoon and will go into effect on October 15th.

Portland joins 47 municipalities in the United States and 40 countries worldwide with either an outright ban or a bag fee.

Way to go to Rise Above Plastics!
