St. Augustine Beach Bans Plastic Bags! Who is next?
Wow, another massive victory! The City of St. Augustine Beach has banned plastic bags! They've been working on this for a couple of years and pulled the trigger. Thats great leadership!
There is a Publix in St. Augustine Beach at Anastasia Plaza. I called and they said they're pushing paper bags right now. This also will impact the small stores and restaurants right near the water. It's a great local victory.
