Another Plastic Bag Ban!


San Francisco was the first community to ban plastic bags over a year ago and now little Westport, Connecticut has followed suit. There is legislation being proposed all over the country right now to have plastic bags banned - and I say, "about time!". These little things create a huge mess. When you consider the thousands of these things that each family brings home, it's no wonder our landfills, countrysides and waterways are full of plastic bags, which by the way, never fully decompose.

If you really want to make a difference, start doing small things like carrying a reusable bag. Small changes make a big difference!
