We're in the home stretch for AB 2058, a California bill that will protect the environment from paper and plastic bags! Bills must be out of the legislature by August 22. Click here to send a letter or call your California Senator. It only takes 1 minute to keep plastic bags out of the ocean for thousands of years.
Plastic bag manufacturers and big oil are digging into their deep pockets to pay guys like this to do smear campaigns against AB 2058. They bought radio spots on stations in LA, and probably beyond. They're spreading misleading information about the bill and plastic bags. Click here for the facts.
Please post and distribute this message on blogs, websites, list serves, etc. We need letters and support to get the bill passed!
Under AB 2058, large grocery stores and pharmacies would be required to charge a 25 cent fee for paper and plastic grocery bags, the proceeds of which would be used for local litter reduction, cleanup and prevention programs. This fee-based approach has encouraged shoppers to bring their own reusable bags and has reduced plastic bag consumption in Ireland by over 90%.
