To the Editor:

At the Nov. 24 Stafford Township Council meeting an ordinance to repeal the ban on plastic bags was introduced. What are they thinking?

Fortunately, New Jersey is already headed in the right direction to address the unsustainable practice of buying single-use plastic. A statewide ban was passed which will take effect in 2022. Thankfully, Ocean County waste management is already stepping to the plate to educate and prepare residents for this positive change in our buying habits.
