Garbage Bags and Wildlife Don't Mix

 

Hi Green Planet, The average American uses 300 to 700 plastic bags per year. Only a tiny fraction are ever recycled. Billions of these single-use bags end up in landfills, rivers and oceans. The bags can take 1,000 years to decompose. A groundbreaking bill in California would ban single-use plastic bags. Urge California legislators to lead the nation on a path to ban single-use plastic bags » The bags are found in virtually every body of water on earth. Seabirds, turtles, seals, sea lions, whales and fish are all at risk of ingesting the bags or becoming entangled. Let's be real, the convenience of a single-use plastic bag is not worth the threat to our oceans. Take action and urge California leaders to pass the nation's first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags » Let California's legislators know the nation is watching and hoping they lead the way to ban the bag!
