Hello friends. Just a few weeks ago, I changed the focus of "Save the Bag: Los Alamos" to just "Save Los Alamos" with the intention of expanding the focus of the group. In addition to focusing on environmental and sustainability issues, start focusing on issues the County Council and State Legislature were working on that affect our community. I believe the more information the better. I'd like to have smart discussions with people and help people find answers to their questions.No sooner had I changed the name and focus of the group, the same old issue, namely banning shopping bags, reared its ugly head. In 2015, when the County Council rejected a ban, I knew this issue would be back. Our good friend Jody Benson, president of the Rio Grand Sierra Club, said as much. It was a promise, not a threat. And man, did she and her friends keep their promise. Not only do they want to ban shopping bags, they also want to ban drinking straws and styrofoam containers. A triple threat.
