Last Thursday, the Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA) voted unanimously to start the Initial Study to plan for the bag ban ordinance! Once that is complete, in 60-90 days, the Board will know which direction needs to be taken...a full EIR or a Negative Declaration. Many thanks to everyone that phoned in and left comments to the Board and attended the meeting!

To share our enthusiasm for RAP, we want you to (re)watch Tim Minchin's call for action! Hysterical and poignant, all wrapped up in one epic song.
