New Jersey’s plastic bag ban begins today. Here’s what you need to know.
The ban applies to stores and restaurants, not consumers, who will still be able to buy plastic baggies, garbage bags and the like.
Stew Leonards' stores, like the one in Paramus, have been using environmentally friendly paper bags for thirty years, but next week, those too will be no more. The store has spent months prepping its shoppers for the change, offering half price reusable bags for the weeks leading up to and following the switch.
Ellie Smart is a professional cliff diver who was shocked by the plastic garbage she encountered on otherwise spectacular beaches around the world. After getting a plastic bag caught on her ankle while diving in Greece, she formed the organization Clean Cliffs, which now recruits dozens of volunteers to clean beaches and other sites around the world and raise awareness of the problem.
