Oregon’s statewide plastic bag ban has been in effect since Jan. 1. How have you adjusted? Any major changes in the way you’re using single-use plastic bags in your home? How about the paper bag fee?

We are looking at how people from different communities across the state have adjusted their habits when shopping and at home.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

We also want to know what you think about the paper bag fee and if it has affected how and when you shop – especially if you are living on a fixed income.

Let us know what you think by filling out this survey. If you’d like to share more, there is a section after the survey where you can submit your thoughts and let us know if you’d like to speak with us about this.
