Isle of Palms residents love our sea turtles. But plastic bags often end up in the ocean where sea turtles or other sea life ingest them, injuring or killing the animal. We all know that most of those single-use plastic bags don’t get recycled. There are recyclable and biodegradable alternatives readily available. Moving away from plastic bags means a cleaner island and a cleaner ocean, which is, in turn, good for IOP’s tourism and economy. We not only know that the constant stream of consumption of plastic bags is not sustainable, but we also know that keeping our ocean and beaches healthy and beautiful is good for local businesses. Let’s do our part and take action. Let’s break our addiction to single-use plastic bags on Isle of Palms.

Great idea - This morning's P&C indicates that IOP may be on track to be the first town in SC to ban single use plastic bags.
