Plastic bags are another source of micro plastics. They are now found all over the world from the Arctic to Antarctica as well as in the tissues of human being and all animals. This is a serious problem that the plastic industry has tried to minimize with false claims of successful recycling.

Ed Drahos

Wishing recycling of all petroleum based plastics be taken more seriously by the corp. world. State programs are obviously ineffective since they fund the corp. who only ship off the waste to other places. Much of this isn't monitored by the states. Only a fractional % of all plastics are recycled.

Kevin Irvine

Should have been done in 2014.

Jeffrey Breslaw

We must do everything we can to protect our environment and the creatures who live here. People don't always make the best decisions in this regard on their own. That is when our government must step in to decide what's best for the majority.

Patricia Prier

We have to protect our oceans and the environment!

In our climate, when we buy frozen or cold items that "sweat" in the heat, paper bags are wet and fall apart by the time we get home. The solution to this issue is to require biodegradable plastic bags that dissolve in short periods of time.

California has more ridiculous laws than any other state. The Democrats got involved several years ago with a plastic bag ban and just made things worse.

Chester Overlock

I've been using my own bags made of recycled billboard signs for over 30 YEARS, and I still have the same bags! I dont get what the problem is, we all know the effects and science. This is not about any political stance, thiis about saving our future

Blake Bailey

It’s just stupid, they should just give people 10 cents back if they recycle them. Saves everyone time and money. Plus homeless would benefit greatly from it

As someone whose been traversing Palm since I was a kid, this wall does assist the primary problem which is a sand "white out" that very spot. But more needs to be done, planting of much more foliage and trees with a watering system would help. I am disappointed in this coverage, the wall is good!

The fact that 90% of the people who live in desert hot springs work in Palm Springs are caught up in this situation bus route and school kid.elderly trying to get to dr appt this wall is a joke whoever approved this should be fired and the taxpayers money return plant some Boulder rock

Michael Rivas

Took an embarrassing long time to construct for such a pitiful result, does not help whatsoever for the continued issue of keeping the corridor open.

Mary McCarthy

Money wasted; no change in road closures.The very next day after the wall was built, was a sandstorm & Gene Autry Rd was closed. The problem is further down the road…there’s no visibility, plus sand builds up causing the Gene Autry Rd closure, regardless of the new wall being built! -M McCarthy

Jo Bunch Pryor

I've lived here since 1961 and it's never been this bad...They took down the Tamarisk trees which helped and use to remove the sand.

Rotating minimizes the possibility of corruption which our city has experienced, its ashame that mayor walked away with nothing more than probation. lets not let it happen again.

Bill Hubbard

YES. The system has been working just fine for several years now. Avoid any lawsuits and keep it this way.

I have always thought voting a mayor is better than the rotation of a mayor. With the rotation, the mayor becomes only a spokesperson for the council The voters should elect based on the agenda of the mayor And it allows for consistency with staff.

Justin Blansett

Mayors should be elected. The whole rotating mayor debacle has been embarrassing for our city.

Bruce Juenger

One person can be directly responsible for implementing their agenda and keep it on track instead of having to rotate every year.

Edward Matarazzo

Better representation

Kerry Post

It should have never been changed in the first place.
