Plastic use throughout the world creates a devastating impact. Threatening our communities globally, plastic is harmful to every aspect of our environment. Whether it be wildlife or humanity, plastic is detrimental.

Plastic Bags specifically pose a major threat to wildlife. Many animals mistakingly deem Plastic Bags to be a source of food, leading to accidental consumption. These bags are ingested by animals, only to be stuck in their digestive systems. Making them feel full, these animals are led to starve to death. Other aquatic animals get stuck in these bags and suffocate. These bags often stay in our world for decades upon decades.

Our goal is to end the use of Plastic Bags in Point Pleasant Borough, NJ. Creating this seemingly small step can be deemed to preempt mass change. This action will directly influence our community, leading to everlasting effects that will help protect our coastal community and surrounding areas. The canals, other bodies of water, and the proximity to the ocean characterize the town that we all are able to call our home. It is vital to end the use of Plastic Bags to help protect our town from pollution and threat. We plan to make this situation aware to the Council of Point Pleasant Borough and push to create legislation change.

Please join us in getting involved in the end of Plastic Bags in our community. Please share this petition and follow us on Instagram to help follow our cause.
