Ban the Bag
(top) Heal the Bay Aquarist Brianne Emhiser, 25, AKA "The Bag Monster" encourages shoppers to support the ordinance to ban plastic bags during the Santa Monica's Downtown Farmers Market on Wednesday, February, 13, 2008. (above) Heal the Bay's Aquarium Director Vicki Wawerchak, and the "Bag Monster" encourage residents to support the plastic ban by showing up at City Hall and voicing their support. The Santa Monica City Council is scheduled to vote on drafting an ordinance to ban plastic bags in the city during February 19th hearing at City Hall. The ban that is being considered (which is recommended by the city's staff), is a far-reaching and comprehensive approach to the problem of single-use plastic and paper bag consumption.
