Last month we sent an update out to our newsletter subscribers. But we didn’t want the rest of the PBL community to miss out on this recap. If you want to be kept up to day subscribe to our newsletter.

This October, Jennie Romer will be speaking at two events aimed at arming you with the tools you need to combat plastic bag use in New York.

Read Jennie Romer’s post for the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation.

On June 6th there will be the Bring Your Own Bag Call-In Day.  We encourage you to call Governor Cuomo and voice your concern for our environment and support of Senate Bill S7760 and Assembly Bill A9953 which would ban single-use plastic bags and put a 10-cent fee on paper bags. To get involved, save the Governor’s number 845-943-4749 to call on June 6.
