Description:
In March of 2008 Pebble in the Pond requested a ban or tax of plastic bags by the City of Powell River. Although the municipality has yet to take action on this request, the action brought a lot of awareness within the community about the destructive nature of plastic bags, and there has been a noticeable increase in the number of stores offering alternatives (most importantly re-useable cotton/hemp/bamboo bags) and a noticeable increase in the number of people in Powell River saying no to plastic bags.
