Item #2: Phasing Out the Free Distribution of Plastic Roll Bags on the Shopping Floor (75 min)

Proposal: To phase out the free distribution of plastic roll bags on the Coop’s shopping floor by 6 months from the date of the GM vote. Shoppers are welcome to reuse plastic bags already taken from the Coop and elsewhere.
