Plastic Bag Ban Initiative Kicks Off with Sigsbee’s Ecology Club

Fourth graders of the Ecology Club from Sigsbee Charter School in Key West pose for a photo to pitch the Ban the Bag campaign.  Subject experts from the City of Key West, GLEE, and the Florida Department of Health in Monroe County spoke with the students about the importance of recycling and how plastic bags can impact the environment, our public health, and the health of surrounding organisms.  The students will be kicking off the campaign at the Publix in Key Plaza on Saturday from  9 to 11am, where they will be handing out free reusable bags and information to encourage residents and visitors of the Florida Keys to choose reusable bags over plastic bags.  For more information, call 508-681-5273.
