Recycling does not work.
Applaud the Sentinel's clear support of a plastic bag ban for Santa Cruz, even if it invites industry ligitation. Enacting this would be an opportunity for Santa Cruz to demonstrate its commitment to doing the right thing.
Santa Cruz Weekly is also voicing concern, and in this about Oceans meeting.
Considering banning plastic bottled water, too. Santa Cruz water is excellent and like all tap water, heavily regulated to insure safety.
Why?
Read the report from Project Kaisei on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in SJ Mercury News.
