I would to cal...East Hills 4-H Club<br />San Leandro, CA<br />I would to call to your attention this website: www.savetheplasticbag.com, the contents of which I think you'll find amusing. Most of the businesses which are part of the group behind the site are probably plastic bag manufacturers who are worried about losing money because of laws banning or taxing plastic bags, and they want to convince consumers to vote against them. I have found at least one deceptive entry on the site, and that is only because I haven't read all of it. They say that many of the nonprofits and groups who are devoted to protecting the environment are liars. There is even a subsection of the site which is devoted to "proving" that the AMRF's findings about the gyre and about plastic pollution are deceptive. That they're trying to expose you and similar groups as liars to make money I find sickening. I, and many other people, know the truth. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916100385089017262.post-71370236239516975902009-06-16T20:41:41.412-07:002009-06-16T20:41:41.412-07:00East hills 4H Green Teens CA, San Leandro
I enjoy...East hills 4H Green Teens CA, San Leandro <br />I enjoy reading your blog and I I'm surprised that you are not finding a lot of plastic because I have been working a booth at our local farmers market educating shoppers about recycling and composting, and a lot of people didn't know where to put what. I try to talk about using less plastic with people, and there are signs of hope - the food vendors at the market are using paper to-go containers!<br /><br />Jack B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
