Hope for Sea Turtles

[Catherine]

We have a 5cent charge for bags, but many of us were already bringing our own bags. I have soft cloth, canvas, a heavy cloth/plastic and thermal bags. They are pretty cheep (1-2 $) and many people are choosing to carry them. Plastic bags are still available, but most people are not using them anymore.

Since the bags cause so much environmental harm any move to get rid of them is a step in the right direction. The sad thing is turtles eating them thinking they are jelly fish and dying as a result. If we don't stop the bag use, the ocean will become clogged with garbage.
