A group of Kent residents has started a drive to adopt a city ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Bag Busters – People for a Plastic Free Kent, will gather signatures for a petition drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16 at the Kent Regional Library, 212 Second Ave. N. The group wants a ban similar to the one the Seattle City Council adopted in 2011.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The group will hand out flyers on Friday to explain the reasons it believes plastic bags are bad for the city and the environment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
