Coastal Currents: Arcata uses three to five MILLION plastic bags a year? What the what?!
Yesterday’s Coastal Currents featured Humboldt Baykeeper’s Vanessa Vasquez and Humboldt Surfrider’s MJ Mazurek.
Today is Day Without a (disposable) Bag.
From 11AM – 1PM, Humblodt Baykeeper and Surfrider will have tables at four grocery stores in Humboldt asking shoppers to forgo disposable bags.
According to a 2010 HSU study:
“The amount of energy used for 3,000,000 bags is equal to over 1,000 one way trips to San Francisco in a 2010 Chevy Tahoe.”
Surfrider invites you to bring in old t-shirts and as the volunteers cut and sew them into a reusable bag and screen print them with their “Ban the Bag Humboldt” logo. They can also screen it on to T-Shirts with non-bag usage in mind.
