Plastic Takes Over the World!

I got an email from change.org today about signing a petition that I really want to pass onto my readers. In a nut shell, the plastic industry is lobbying to make it illegal for individual towns and cities of Illinois to ban the use of plastic bags. Banning plastic will be impossible if this bill gets passed! Of course there are parts of this bill that are good, like having more plastic bag recycling locations... but recycling plastic bags is almost an oxymoron. We need to get rid of it! In the end it's up to each individual person, but when an entire city makes the decision to ban them it's a really big deal!

Here's the petition:

Tongass National Forest

Learn about the Tongass National Forest & sign petitions to help protect it. It's one of the largest remaining protected areas of Temperate Rainforest and it is in peril. While in office, George Bush outlawed the bill passed by former President Clinton - Roadless Rule Conservation Act - so we can soil more land with civilization. Let's protect what we have left.
