What is Referendum 1?
In 2008, the Seattle City Council passed an ordinance creating a 20 cent fee on all disposable shopping bags at grocery, drug, and convenience stores. The purpose of the green fee is to discourage the use of disposable paper and plastic bags and encourage the use of reusables. This fee, modeled after a similar law in Ireland is expected to reduce bag use by up to 90%.
Referendum 1 is about getting Seattleites to bring their own bag to the store in order to reduce waste, greenhouses gases, and environmental impacts. To do this, in 2008, the Seattle City Council passed an ordinance creating a 20 cent fee on all disposable shopping bags at grocery, drug, and convenience stores. The purpose of the green fee is to discourage the use of disposable paper and plastic bags and encourage the use of reusables.

===Our Purpose===
&nbsp;


GreenPolicy360 is an online database which lists local legislation that is congruent with Green values. Unlike numerous other web sites, we don't offer analysis and summaries of the legislation, but the wording of the legislation itself along with other pertinent information, including a link to the original source. In time, we hope to offer interesting background information for many of the entries listed in our database.  There are literally hundreds of entries and the database is growing all the time!! See the [[Introduction Video]].

GreenPolicy360 was developed for use by all sorts of people. Whether you're a progressive elected official, an activist or a concerned citizen, GreenPolicy360 lets you know how other communities are dealing with many of the key public policy issues of yesterday, today and tomorrow.  If you're working to craft similar legislation for your local community OR you just want to get an idea of what might be possible, you can copy and paste the text from legislation from other locales and modify it to your own needs.
<center>[http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Special:Search <big></big>'''''Site Search'''''</big></big>]</center>

Rather than spend hours and hours trying to locate source material, you will find much of what you're looking for right here, right now.
