It is evident that plastic bags are polluting our environment and aren't biodegradable. This petition is meant to stop the distribution of plastic bags at checkout lines that are only one use items and replace them with a biodegradable substitute, such as paper or reusable bags. This petition hopes to acheive a similar outcome as is already in place in San Francisco and L.A. in regards to banning these materials.
Why is this important?
This petition is to address the growing global problem of plastic, nonbiodegradable materials seeping into the oceans, waterways, and our landfills where they sit for decades, polluting our environment and affecting wildlife. By eliminating one use plastic bags from fast food chains, corporate retails stores and the like, we can seriously start addressing the issue of the N. Pacific Garbage Patch.
