Please, pass HB521.

These plastic bags turn into man made estrogen that pollutes our total water system when they degrade in water.

We need to make corporations socially responsible, especially since they want all the rights of a human.

I have recycled bags in my cars, and foyer, ready for my next shopping trip.

Thank you, Delegate Morrissey for introducing this bill.

We shall all do our part to save the environment, thanks to you all.
