Green Sanctuary Legislative Updates

Thanks to everyone who signed the petition at the Climate Friendly Foods Potluck in October!  On April 17, Green Sanctuary will sponsor poster making, letters to the editor, petition signings.   Look for the notice in early April.  Let's help get this bill passed and make Delaware the First State to pass this bill!

Single Use Plastic bag reduction – HB 202

This bipartisan bill (Hudson, Brady, Mulrooney, Lynn, D. Short, Bentz, Jacques, K. Mathews, Paradee, S. Matthews, McDowell, Cloutier, Lopez) would become effective on December 2, 2016.
