We only get one planet, Save it for the next generation. Plastic bottles and shopping bags have caused enough damage in 30 years. Before that humans used paper bags and glass bottles.

Reusable bags are great for the environment and It's really not that hard to bring them to the store.

I keep them in the car but sometimes do forget to take them into the store, when I do forget I just ask the clerks to put the items back into the basket and then bag them when I get to the car.

90% of the planet's ocean plastic pollution comes from 10 rivers: 8 in Asia and 2 in Africa. Banning the miniscule Oregon contribution of plastic bags and straws is absurd.

People bring dirty bags, I believe this isn't a good thing.

No and don't plan too! We have been saving the plastic bags for months and will continue to use them.

Can’t ever remember the reusable ones. It’s my one luxury. And our store gives paper bags most the time and I reuse all the bags.

Can you imagine some of the most disgusting homes these bags come from?

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
