This is an exciting time to create far reaching positive change!!! Please give the environment, our children’s future and the NEW economy your 30 seconds to make a call and ask a friend to call
SUPPORTING AB1998 IS:
Ø Businesses (Grocery Stores), environmental groups and government working TOGETHER to create a better world
Ø A consistent policy STATEWIDE for banning plastic bags. This will save local cities and grocery stores $$$$ by not having to create and implement different policies – patchwork bag bans
Ø Creating a ZERO WASTE economy and system for our shopping habits – REDUCING bags when not necessary, REUSABLE bags, RECYCLED paper bags with 40% post-consumer content
Ø David vs Goliath – send a strong message to oil and natural gas companies and the plastic industry that they need to cleanup their processes and create a better product!
Ø Not minding a little inconvenience (remembering to bring our own bag or not taking one) to MAKE THE WORLD A LITTLE BETTER
Ø most importantly, providing a CLEAN AND HEALTHY EARTH for all of her critters and children
