California spends $25 million annually to landfill discarded plastic bags. You can help!
As you do your Christmas shopping, the California Integrated Waste Management Board recommends that we:
(1) Use reusable canvas or cloth bags.
(2) Say "No thank you." Not all items require a bag.
(3) Recycle! California requires large supermarkets or pharmacies to offer free recycling of plastic bags. How about your state or community?
(4) Reuse them. They make great waste basket liners and bags to take to the local farmers' market. What are your ideas?
(5) Tell a friend about the importance of recycling.

Catholic Social Teaching: Caring for God’s Creation. Caring for the earth is a duty of our Catholic faith. We all are called to be careful stewards of God’s creation and to ensure a safe and hospitable environment for vulnerable human beings now and in the future.
