The Pacific Garbage Patch has grown to be twice the size of Texas. Unless California does something about our plastic trash it will only get worse. Something we use for 5 minutes shouldn’t last 500 years. Banning plastic bags is a crucial first step.
Unfortunately, the California Senate voted down the statewide ban on single use plastic bags. To see how each senator voted, click here.
We're not giving up. Here's our plan moving forward:
- In counties, cities and towns all across California, we will advance local bans on plastic bags and Styrofoam containers, adding to the 40 which already have some kind of ban in place.
Donate today to make our campaign possible, and help us keep fighting to clean up marine plastic.
