BAN THE PLASTIC BAG IN LOS ANGELES!

We at AWAKE have been working since 2006 to ban plastic bags in Southern California. Californians use 12 billion, yes billion, plastic bags each year. Each bag is used an average of 12 minutes before it is thrown away. Less than 5% are ever recylced.

Plastic bags are polluting our oceans, rivers, wetlands, and open spaces. They become airborn in landfills so are one of the worst sources of plastic pollution today. In just a short amount of time, plastic bags break down into small pieces of plastic -- that cause sickness, hormonal changes and even death in wildlife and humans.

It really is just a small thing -- to remember to bring a cloth bag with you when shopping. Your mindfulness will save millions of fish and animal lives. And keep our earth more beautiful!

Will you join AWAKE and Heal the Bay (and many others!) -- and BAN THE PLASTIC BAG? VOTE YES ON PROP 67 NOVEMBER 8TH in California.

MUSE & Communi-Green Founders Speak on Water Conservation

Communi-Green Founders Emily Richards, John Nogawski and Andy Shrader will be featured at the MUSE School's May 28th screening of Watershed, speaking on Why and How we can Conserve Water Together.

Executive Produced and Narrated by Robert Redford and Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Mark Decena, WATERSHED tells the story of the threats to the once-mighty Colorado River and offers solutions for the future of the American West.

Can we meet the needs of a growing population in the face of rising temperatures and lower rainfall in an already arid land? Can we find harmony amongst the competing interests of cities, agriculture, industry, recreation, wildlife, and indigenous communities with rights to the water?

Watch the WATERSHED trailer here.

Wednesday, May 28th 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

1666 Las Virgenes Canyon Road

Happy Earth Day - Say No to Straws!

Posted April 22, 2014 at 9:38 a.m. to AWAKE Community Public | Comment

In the United States we use 500 MILLION straws each day. None of them are recycled.

Straws are found in marine debris more than most any other plastic trash. Do you really need that straw? You don't drink coffee with a straw! You don't drink wine with a straw. You don't drink beer with a straw. So why your water or soda? Try forgoing the straw, or if you really need one, bring your own stainless steel one.

This Earth Day take the No Straw Challenge. Going Straw Free is not only smart, it's cool!
