Athletes pack pro-plastic political message lemonade glass
High school football players delivered a political message along with barbecue chicken dinners last weekend at an Atascadero fundraiser, surprising some parents, risking their boosters’ non-profit status, and igniting a brisk debate about plastic bags and exploitation of students.
Student athletes from Paso Robles and Atascadero were servers at Saturday s annual fund-raising event at Food4Less, and the meal boxes they carried to tables also contained a one-page flyer imprinted with the message: Stop the SLO County bag tax and ban. The football teams booster organizations, which are non-profit entities, orchestrated the event.
A controversial countywide ban on plastic and paper grocery lemonade glass bags will be considered today by the San Luis Obispo County Integrated lemonade glass Waste Management Authority (IWMA) in a 1:30 p.m. session at the County Government Center. (Editor’s note: Check this site for an update following the meeting.)
Allyson Wilson, public relations manager lemonade glass of American Chemistry Council s Plastics Division in Washington, described the flyer as simple, just a single-sided flyer, and then said, As I understand it, we got a call, they said they could use 3,000 copies of the flyer and they could get those out to a big audience. lemonade glass
Asked who they were, Wilson referred a reporter to Bob Gutierrez, a spokesman for Food4Less. Gutierrez skirted the question of the flyers source, but said his company is going to be affected by this issue and this information was provided for consumers in the region.
The San Luis Obispo County measure under consideration would allow retailers to distribute thicker bags costing a nickel, with the idea that the bags would be reused. Along with the chemistry group, the measure is opposed by their local action affiliate, Keep Bags Free SLO.
The flyer asked recipients to attend the IWMA meeting lemonade glass today and speak in opposition to the ban. The authority s board of directors is made up of all five county supervisors, a representative from each of the county s seven cities, and a Cambria Community Services District official.
