The Environmental Commission and the BEDC held a joint public hearing at City Hall to take testimony on how and if we should regulate plastic shopping bags and Styrofoam.
We had a great turnout at the public hearing and heard from many local merchants, several people from the plastics industry, and fellow citizens.
The Environmental Commission is on a fact finding mission that will help them come up with findings to use for a recommendation to the City Council. The Environmental Commission will be taking testimony until August 31st. Written testimony can be sent to chersch@cityhpil.com. or delivered to 1707 St. Johns at City Hall. More information can be found at the city website at http://www.cityhpil.com/pdf/EC%20Recommendation%207-28-09.pdf .
