California Becomes First State to Ban Plastic Produce Bags - EcoWatch

Nice.

California Becomes First State to Ban Plastic Produce Bags - EcoWatch The state became the first in the nation to ban them in grocery stores when Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to that effect into law September 30.

It pays to recycle!

We just took 140 pounds of aluminum cans to the recycling facility! We have received $920 this year just on aluminum cans! This is such an easy way to help the animals at Happy Trails!
Just collect your cans and store them up in durable trash bags. Pet food cans as well as beverage cans can be recycled. When in doubt, use a magnet to test for aluminum. A magnet will not stick to aluminum but will stick to steel or other metals.
Drop off at Happy Trails.
Bring your bags to the Happy Trails Sanctuary office and place them beside the office building to the left in the receptacles provided. If you need help, please ask in the office! If the receptacles are full, place your bags in the area beside them.

Join us on Saturday for our Recycling event at the Steel Museum
