Plastic Disaster

When I visit the beach I always see trash along the shore. Plastic strewn about everywhere. Birds flying around and picking at whatever scraps people left behind. It has gotten to the point where most people are used to the devastation. It might just be a crowded Californian beach, but even isolated beaches, like Oregon's coast, have plastic wash up upon its shores.

Each time you use a reusable bag at Target Stores they will take five cents off your purchase. Simple, saves money, saves plastic, saves lives. Hundreds of marine mammals are killed by plastics that build up in the world's oceans every year. Reusable bags are an effortless way to reduce the damage.
