Help save our oceans and landfills by supporting this ban for plastic bags in grocery stores.
The average plastic bag is used for twelve minutes but it will take 500 years to decompose in a landfill. Our bodies of water are at great risk as well: by 2050 it is projected that the total mass of plastic in the ocean will outweigh the total mass of all fish.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about this issue as much as I do. Seeing this gain real momentum is entirely due to the effort you all have put in to spread the word. This is something I never thought possible when I first started.
