</span><span class="x_ContentPasted0" style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Cambria,serif; color:#000000; background-color:#ffffff; font-weight:400">– Sarah Barnes is a graduate student at Duke University working with the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic.
The Clinic is representing local nonprofit organization, Don’t Waste Durham. Crystal Dreisbach is the founder and director of Don’t Waste Durham, which works on systemic level changes to prevent trash, through policy change and innovations. All of Durham's
trash takes a 96-mile trip to Sampson County, so anything that reduces the trash in Durham will have multiple positive impacts. 400 cities across the country regulate single-use bags. Plastics are a problem from “cradle” (pollution at their source) to their
“graves.” We have been finding heavy microplastics in all the water sources around Durham. Plastic bags are a huge problem for the recycling industry as well, because they jam up the sorting machinery and cost them a great deal of money. Store owners spend
a lot of money on single-use bags and would love to cut down on the bags they need to buy. The literature indicates that banning bags can create resentment, but a fee changes consumer behavior and makes people feel like they have a choice. Don’t Waste Durham
is recommending a 10-cent fee, with the fee going to Solid Waste. One way to reduce the impact on low-wealth customers would be to exempt recipients of government assistance such as WIC, SNAP, and MEDICAID, as well as getting more free reusable bags into
the community. Don't Waste Durham would want to have a significant outreach and awareness-building effort before the rollout of the fee. They are doing a lot of research into best practices, legal issues and so on, as well as meeting with city and county
staff and elected officials. The 4 NC cities furthest along are Asheville, Boone, Chapel Hill and Durham, which are coordinating so they can move policy forward in a unified way. Don’t Waste Durham is using donated, rescued materials (t-shirts, sheets, etc.)
and community volunteers to make “Bull City Boomerang Bags”. They are really cool reusable bags (see
