With the help of our volunteers and members, Environment Washington led the effort to ban plastic bags in Seattle. We released a report with new and unpublished data to show the full extent of Puget Sound's plastic problemnand how plastic bags threaten our wildlife. Our members made hundreds of phone calls and sent in thousands of public comments, urging Seattle City Council to ban the bag. We finally won with a unanimous vote in favor of the bag ban, making Seattle the second biggest city in the U.S. to ban the bag!
