 Efforts to reduce plastic trash in the environment need your support!
State Senator Alex Padilla proposes statewide legislation prohibiting the distribution of single-use carry-out bags. While the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, The CA Grocers Association, Humboldt Baykeeper, Surfrider and many more actively support this bill, the plastic industry is working hard to confuse the public and decision makers about single-use plastic bags. On May 23, SB 405 (Padilla) was given the green light by the Senate Appropriations Committee, which decides which bills to approve for consideration by the full Senate. If you have not already done so, now is the time to sign the petetion in support of a statewide single-use, carry-out bag ban.

How we will prepare for rising sea levels is just beginning to take shape here in the Humboldt Bay region. Over the past year, Humboldt Baykeeper has assessed sea level rise vulnerability for contaminated sites near Humboldt Bay. More than 300 contaminated sites are within 10 meters of current sea level, including more than 40 that are below 2 meters – the amount sea level is projected to rise by the year 2100.
