Dec. 17: A Day Without a Bag

Heal the Bay's 3rd annual A Day Without a Bag is this Thursday, December 17.

Here's a quick description from Heal the Bay's site:

Our holiday gift to the environment! Join thousands of shoppers in L.A. County in giving up disposable bags in favor of reusable totes for 24 hours. A Day Without a Bag is an education and grassroots event coordinated by Heal the Bay that involves businesses and individuals throughout Los Angeles County. On this day we ask holiday shoppers and retailers to forgo single-use, plastic shopping bags in favor of reusable bags.

Heal the Bay volunteers will be handing out reusable bags all around LA on Thursday. Click here to find the giveaway location nearest you.
