Ban plastic shopping bags

We are poisoning our marine life, our bodies and polluting our environment through the extreme use of plastic grocery bags. Let's clean up our world, health and wean ourselves off Petroleum.

Why is this important?

I work in a healthfood store and I still see a tremendous amount of plastic bags used and wasted. The chemicals these bags leach into our water supply and into the water supply of our marine life is toxic. Our land fills are overcome by so many non-biodegradable plastics that this is a first step in a long line of things we must do to start making a difference.
