JOIN THE COUNTY IN REDUCING<br />
PLASTIC BAG LITTER!<br />
Did you know that <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
residents consume approximately six billion<br />
plastic bags each year? Yes, six billion. The<br />
<strong>County</strong> of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> is committed to reducing<br />
the amount of plastic bags that end up along<br />
roadways or in storm drains, or make their way<br />
to the ocean. While convenient, littered plastic<br />
bags are an eyesore and cause harm to land<br />
and marine wildlife.<br />
Here are a few simple things you can do to<br />
help:<br />
• Use canvas (or other reusable) bags when<br />
shopping instead of plastic bags.<br />
• Give your clean plastic bags back to your<br />
grocer or merchant for recycling.<br />
• Reuse plastic bags that you already have<br />
when you make that next shopping trip.<br />
• Insist on recycled-content paper bags at the<br />
market.<br />
Making these simple changes will help reduce<br />
the amount of bags disposed and seen as litter<br />
in our neighborhoods. Encourage your friends<br />
and family to do the same!<br />
