BRILLIANT Ban the Bag Music Video produced by NCRA
Hot from the studio, and directly to you, NCRAs Ban the Bag Music Video, featuring the BAG MONSTER!
Plastic bags pose a deadly threat to marine wildlife, clutter our landscapes, pollute our oceans, and damage recycling equipment. That’s why California passed a statewide law in 2014 to phase out single-use grocery bags, with broad public support. A YES vote on Proposition 67 will keep this law in place and ensure that it is implemented statewide. A YES vote will continue to move California beyond the waste, costs, and threats to wildlife and the environment caused by single-use plastic grocery bags.
Huge thanks to these amazing folks:
