Last year the General Aseembly passed plastic bag tax enabling legislation. Now we need to ask our local elected officials to enact ordinances to make the five cent tax a reality. Contact your Fairfax County supervisor , and let them know you want them to follow through on a plastic bag tax for a cleaner future for Accotink Creek.

Our allied group Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has a splendidly organised 2021 legislation page.

Let's get the bags out of Accotink Creek!
