It’s make-or-break for the New Jersey Senate to save paper bag manufacturing jobs in the state.
S-864 is coming up for a vote in the full Senate, Thursday, March 5, and it’s critical that it is defeated. Why?
This bill, if enacted, will ban paper shopping bags, plastic bags, plastic-foam containers and single-use straws, even though paper bags are environmentally friendly, are biodegradable and recycled, and are manufactured right here in our home state by union sisters and brothers.
S-864, sponsored by Sens. Bob Smith and Linda R. Greenstein, would throw these people out of work.
