Here's one big change coming in 2012 for many South Bay residents . . .
Did you know that in July 2008, our neighbors in Manhattan Beach passed an ordinance banning the distribution of plastic bags at the point-of-sale for all retail establishments in the City of Manhattan Beach? The City's plastic bag ordinance will begin implementation on January 14, 2012 with plans to have the ban in full effect, city wide, by July 2012.
We know that citizens in Manhattan Beach and surrounding cities have already made the personal decision to adopt the use of re-usable bags, and we support this effort!
We look forward to future endeavors throughout the South Bay that encourage the switch, especially since we are a beach community, and many plastic bags ultimately do harm to local marine life right along our coast! By using reusable bags instead of single-use bags we can help to conserve resources, reduce landfill waste, reduce plastic bag litter, and protect our local marine environment.
Marine researchers found that plastic pieces outweigh surface zooplankton in the North Pacific Central Gyre (an area in the Pacific Ocean where debris becomes trapped by circulating currents) by a factor of 6 to 1
