Current Project!- Plastic Bag Ban!!
We are asking all of the members in our Roots & Shoots group to commit to stop using plastic grocery bags. Only 1% of the plastic garbage bags in the US are ever recycled, and they cannot be processed at the same plant as the bottles as they just clog up the system... the result... WASTE! So, let's just stop using them!
You can either buy some of the inexpensive reusable store bags, or make your own! Here is a link to a simple, sturdy pattern to make them yourself:

So what do you say? Commit to banning plastic bags today!
