"Safety First"

My colleague Ms. Tran's article caught my attention. Austin as a growing city's decision for the no plastic bag use was an innovative idea that effected all of our residents.   “SafetyFirst” is a post about the Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance in Austin. Before reading her writing I did not realize what hazards there were for the re-usable bags. She stated that there was potential cross contamination inside the bags. I don’t believe people ever think about cleaning out there bags. When you carry raw meat and vegetables together you don’t think twice about it. I agree with Ms. Tran’s position that the legislature should help educate the citizens on the Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance's potential hazards when people do not clean out their re-usable bags.

The post was well written and informative. Ms. Tran gave the brief on the ordinance, gave the problem with the ordinance, and her idea to resolve the problem. The piece was not too long and kept me interested in the topic. I would suggest others living in Austin or any other individuals living in Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance cities to read her blog or find another way to educate themselves on the issues.
