OOOOO!!! - i came across this same news too Coralinni's!! - REEAL INTERESTIN' thing we's got Goin' Here!! :D :D

YEPZ! - sounds like da plastic bag ban iz catchin' on pretty fast!! -- Now da lil' beachtown of Encinitas is startin' to show its concern for da ecology n' da environment ~ followin' San Francisco's footsteps ~

DAT GOOD'z!! - SF's initial work is startin' to set a great example to da rest of Cal. - and hopefully catchin' on w/ da rest of da nation one state after another - and showin' what can be done to reduce n' prevent da ecological damage caused by pollution of our local shores kuz of toxic plastic materials (bags, six-pack holders, bottles) --- carelessly thrown out by those who are unaware what da heck they are doin'! (eeey!) -- which in turn hurts our marine wildlife n' destroys da eco-balance of da natural habitats ~ POOR FISHIES!!

Da Plastic-ban is a great first step in eco-awareness......but ultimately....we as a society -- should become even more aware of our daily habits and change our usual ways ~ makin' little sacrifices dat add up ~ Such as recyclin' (siggh.....it never fails to amaze me how much.....despite da "Goin' Green".....still DON'T recycle!! - C'MON! It doesn't take dat much hard work to do now does it!?) ---  relyin' less on public (one-use) bagging..........If one must use a bag....(a paper bag) -- DON"T THROW OUT!! -- they can be RECYLED -- USED AGAIN! ~ orrrrr.....one can support "Goin' Green" by shoppin' w/ their own "Eco-friendly" bags --- which also can be used again and again! ;) ;)

~ Let's do our part!! -- No more "Throw-Away" mentality -- Become an active participant in takin' care of our environment ~ YEA!

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
