Bag Monster ACTION!

Your local Bag Monster is on tour...just looking for a friendly home. The world is demonstrating that it dislikes single-use plastic shopping bags, so the monster is crossing the USA to find love where it can (not an easy task).

So sad - keep up with the Monster's quest and other Monster doin's (public art, activist marches, etc, etc!!) at the entertaining Bag Monster blog.

[Meanwhile...Californians: contact your state senators and tell them to pass AB 1998 - the state-wide single-use plastic shopping bag ban bill. More info here.]



Have a reusable weekend!

Vancouver, BC, Canada Pursues Bag Ban!


A story about Maya Stano, the Vancouver, British Columbia Surfrider chapter's Rise Above Plastics campaign manager, was recently published in The Runner e-zine. Maya is an environmental engineer (now studying Environmental Law!) and is tackling the finer points of the issue from all legal and technical angles...not to mention the difficulty of enforcing the ban.

Read up on Maya's adventures here.
