It’s the Bay vs. the Bag – only one side can win!

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Today Save The Bay launched a major campaign – The Bay vs. The Bag – to dramatically reduce plastic bag litter in San Francisco Bay and California’s waterways. To showcase this effort, we created an amazing movie and a new, multi-media website.

An estimated 3.8 billion plastic bags are used in the Bay Area every year. Millions end up in the Bay, polluting our water, smothering wetlands and killing animals. That’s why Save The Bay is helping cities in the Bay Area take a stand against plastic bag pollution.

Millions of plastic bags end up in our Bay, polluting water, smothering wetlands and harming wildlife. But the multi-billion dollar plastics industry is suing to stop local efforts to reduce bag use.

We need your help. This Earth Day, choose the Bay over the Bag and join Save The Bay’s fight to eliminate plastic bags in California! Please help us stand up to the plastics industry and reduce bag pollution by doing three things:

Watch our clever and fascinating video to see what could happen if we fail to cut our dependence on bags.
Take action to reduce preventable and costly plastic bag pollution.
Help spread the word – share this campaign with your friends!

Thank you for your ongoing support to help us protect and restore San Francisco Bay – our region’s great natural treasure.
