9 Q9 Have you changed where you shop to avoid stores that have implemented the ordinance? Answered: 12 Skipped: 0 Yes No I am not sure Yes No I am not sure 50.00% % 6 Total 12 # Comments: Date 1 as far as i know all stores in west olympia have implemented the ordinance? Grocery outlet might still have "preban" outlaw bags... 2 my biggest worry is transporting meat and disposing of meat at home as well as diapers and other waste. Those bags from retailors have been very helpful in our home and it's a big adjustment to not have them. Also I feel bad for the stores that have a harder time knowing is someone actually bought an item and didn't steal it. Usually, if it was in a bag you knew they checked out. 1/1/ :39 AM 11/16/ :44 AM 3 I shop outside of Thurston County. 11/14/2014 9:09 PM 4 I wish I could.. unfortunately all of Thurston County has been screwed by this. 11/13/2014 2:45 PM 9 / 11

11 Q11 Your feedback is very important. Please provide any comments related to implementation or outreach of the ordinances. Answered: 5 Skipped: 7 # Date 1 Great work! Now I need a composting bin and we need to ban plastic water bottles 1/1/2015 2:56 PM 2 I think the reusable bags going back and forth from individuals home and car and checkout area are a potential vecter of disease. 3 I have noticed a lot of my family and friends are willing to make longer drives to be able to get plastic bags then deal with reusable bags. Thurston county could potentially be losing money by this ordinance from people going to other counties. 1/1/ :39 AM 11/17/ :03 PM 4 plastic bags have their place. 11/16/ :44 AM 5 Get rid of this stupid law. No one likes it, and I am tired of feeling like I live in communist China where I can't choose anything for myself because the government is my new mother and knows whats best for me. Let me know when I can't use paper bags either because it might hurt a tree. 11/13/2014 2:45 PM 11 / 11
