Join us for BYOBag Days!
- Earth Day, Friday, April 22, 2011
- California BYOBag Day, Thursday, December 15, 2011.
- Anticipated implementation of the first single-use bag ordinance in Marin County: January 1, 2012
All volunteers are welcome! We need informed, communicative people to provide educational outreach to patrons and community members when they shop at one of our event-sponsored locations!
Get involved – Join a Team!
Between now and April 22nd, we are asking everyone interested in volunteering their efforts to join a team which will adopt a market or retail store. We are trying to match the store with the town you live in.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING AND WE WILL ASSIGN YOU TO A TEAM.
Our goal is to educate and mobilize people to support the proposed ordinance and encourage them to change their behavior. The ordinance is targeted for passage this year. Our goal is NO PAPER, NO PLASTIC.
Teen Involvement
Join our student movement – we want to hear your voice, and for you to have a presence at every grocery store in Marin!
