>Dear Friends:

>Last week, I urged you to send letters to your Assembly 
>representative asking for his or her support on Assemblyman Lloyd 
>Levine's Assembly Bill 2449. You responded generously -- literally 
>hundreds of letters were sent -- but the Assembly adjourned before 
>the bill could come up for a vote.
>
>Assembly Member Levine intends to take up AB 2449 on Thursday and we 
>will be fighting for every vote. If you have already sent a letter 
>to your Assembly Member, please help us further by

>here to let your friends and associates know about this critical campaign.

>And if you have not yet had an opportunity to send your own letter,

>Californians use over 19 billion plastic grocery and merchandise 
>bags a year (roughly 552 bags per person), creating 147,038 tons of 
>unnecessary waste in our landfills. As people throughout the state 
>throw away over 600 bags a second, they are creating enough waste to 
>circle the planet over 250 times in one year. As bad as they are for 
>the on-shore environment, they are deadly in the marine environment. 
>Every year, plastic debris - such as bags - kills animals through 
>entanglement, suffocation, starvation and ingestion. In the 1980s it 
>was estimated that plastic rubbish caused the deaths of over 100,000 
>marine mammals and sea turtles a year in the North Pacific alone.
>
>AB 2449 will take the first bite out of this growing environmental 
>crisis, but we must have your support to be successful.

>P.S. You can help us literally quadruple the number of letters
