All politics is local.
How many times have you heard that?
But how can you have a voice in your state government when Sacramento is
so far away? How can you have an impact
on the rapidly-deteriorating state of our
oceans? Besides bringing your own
bag and bottle, how can you really help address the problem of plastic
debris?
Join marine debris activist, Andy
Shrader, this weekend at the Green Tent to find out about two state bills the
Mar Vista Community Council supports, whose passage is essential to the health
of our oceans: a statewide ban on plastic bags and a statewide ban on polystyrene
food containers (aka, Styrofoam).
THIS SUNDAY AT THE
MAR VISTA FARMER’S MARKET
Bring your cell phone
and, on the spot...
Call your State Assemblymember Holly Mitchell, Betsy Butler
or Steven Bradford and leave a message with your address, asking him or her to
vote YES on SB-568 (Lowenthal) (Styrofoam ban).
And call your State Senator Ted Lieu or Curren Price, and
leave him a message with your address, asking him to vote YES on AB-298
(Brownley) (plastic bag ban).

Your State Assemblymembers and Senators really do pay
attention to your phone calls.
