Please help our efforts to significantly reduce plastic carryout bags from the litter and marine debris stream by supporting AB 2058. Under AB 2058, large grocery stores and pharmacies would be required to charge a 25-cent fee for plastic grocery bags, the proceeds of which would be used for local litter abatement, cleanup and prevention programs. This fee-based approach has encouraged shoppers to bring their own reusable bags and has reduced plastic bag consumption in Ireland by over 90%. It takes just a moment to click on the link below and send a support letter to your state representative. Please also distribute this message widely.
The American Chemistry Council and bag manufacturers are digging into their deep pockets to fund a campaign against AB 2058 (Plastic Bag Litter Reduction Act). They are spreading misinformation about the environmental and societal impacts of reducing plastic bag usage. For the first time, California has the chance to pass the most aggressive policy to reduce plastic bag consumption. We can’t allow the American Chemistry Council and others to use their large budgets to spread misinformation to legislators and the public.
