Mansfield residents, Monday is your chance to make a difference

If you are a Mansfield resident, you have a great opportunity to make a difference this coming Monday. If you're not a Mansfield resident, read on anyway, and take action in your own town or community. The Mansfield Town Council has agreed to discuss the single use plastic bag ban at their meeting this coming Monday, June 25th, 7pm, Mansfield Town Hall, Council Chambers. Please come and voice your support for this issue. There are some who oppose the ban, and so the Town Council needs to see us and hear from us in order to vote in favor of this ban. Here are the meeting agenda, packet, and supplemental materials. If you cannot come to the meeting, there is still time to let Town Council know in writing that you support the ban. You can email them at TownClerk@mansfieldct.org. It does not have to be a long, fancy email, just a short statement saying you support the ban is sufficient; but if you feel drawn to discussing your reasons, or going into more details, that is great too. Please do what you can to help, and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much if you have already taken action or are planning to. Also, feel free to share with others.
