Hi there, Hulala Surfriders!
We've reported a while back on the plastic patch floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and the problems that it is causing on the marine ecosystem. Click here to read up on it in case you have not.
Well, it's good to know that some of us are doing something about it! Take New York for example, Mayor Bloomberg has announced his plan to push for a plastic bag tax (6 cents) for each bag used. This will no doubt give shoppers more incentive to say "No!" to plastic bags and to recycle!
Mayor Bloomberg, we Hulala Girls salute you for taking this bold step forward. We hope that other cities follow your fine example soon. We need to take big steps to reduce our overall dependency / use of plastic products.
Remember: Recycle, Reduce and Reuse!
Let's do our part to save the ocean because our lives depend on it!
Here are a couple of articles to help you get familiar with the issue at hand.

So surfriders, what do you think? Is this a good idea? Share with us what cool things you're doing in your neighborhood to help reduce plastic bag use! Go shake it!
Got to go catch some waves now...later!
