"Plastic bags and other marine debris cause serious problems for the health of our coast and bay shorelines. Each year an estimated one million plastic bags make their way into San Francisco Bay, where they pollute the water and endanger the 500 species of animals that live in the Bay.

Plastic litter never biodegrades. It is an eyesore for our communities and costs local governments millions to clean up. The Governor's Ocean Protection Council will vote soon on whether or not to support local efforts to reduce plastic bag litter. 
Please ask Governor Schwarzenegger to be a leader in the effort to eliminate plastic bags in our communities. 
Hurry! The vote is set for April 23. Choose the Bay over the bag! Thank you for making a difference to California's fragile ecosystems and wildlife habitat today."
