"Don't Blow It.  Good Planets are Hard to Find." - Ogden Nash Help in the effort to raise environmental awareness and reduce the amount of disposable plastic in our community. Together we can make a difference!

The Problem:

• According to the Wall Stree Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion shopping bags annualy.  An estimated 12 million barrels of oil is required to make that many plastic bags.
• In the U.S. alone, we waste nearly 2.5 million plastic water bottles per day.  These plastic water bottles are leeching harmful chemicals into our drinking water and causing a massive disposal problem in our landfills.
• Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year.  Tied up end to end that's enough to circle the earth 63 times.

Be Part of the Solution:
