Community Survey:
Results from the community survey conducted in the Los Alamos Daily Post reveal that 64.65 percent of the 1,027 respondents are against a County-wide ban of plastic bags and 35.44 percent are for it.
The banning of disposable plastic bags, such as those used at grocery stores has been a hot topic in Los Alamos County.
Survey Comments:
What a stupid idea. Recycle them! You can take them back to Smith’s or put them in your recycle container.

I think we should be free to choose which kind of bags to use.

My guess is that there’s more to this than meets the eye. There are connections between rates, what utilities Read More
