Bagging the Plastic Bag in Monterey, California

Effective July 1st, 2012, single use plastic bags are banned in the city of Monterey!

Tomorrow (Saturday, June 30th), there is a community celebration on the ban of single use plastic bags.

Join Native Leaf  for the celebration, from 11am to 3pm at the lawn in front of City Hall (Pacific Street). There will be live music, terrific food vendors, art activities and interactive displays and information from organizations including
