California is just a couple of steps away from banning single-use plastic bags. China has done it. Parts of Mexico, Europe, Africa, and Australia have done it, too. Even some individual cities like San Francisco, Malibu, and Palo Alto have already banned these major pieces of pollution. But now AB 1998 (Brownley) could be trashed if it does not get enough votes to pass out of the Senate Rules Committee. If it does pass this crucial vote, the bill is expected to be rushed to the Senate Floor where the full State Senate will vote. Please contact your State Senator today and ask that he/she support AB 1998 – California’s solution to our number 1 source of ocean pollution.
