It is time for the Town of Hempstead, NY to ban the intentional release of balloons. It is just littering. These balloons come back down, becoming pollution, that is known to kill and harm wildlife.

Plastic bag pollution is an eyesore and damages our natural surroundings, often polluting our local waters and contributing to the plastic patches in the ocean. You Can Help-Just Bring Your Own Bag!

Though plastic bags are banned in NY State as of 3/1/20, we can’t just switch to another throwaway bag. With a small fee on all checkout bags, Nasssau can reduce ALL needless checkout bag pollution.

A plastic bag ban with a fee on all others inspires people to the answer- reusable bags! Help eliminate billions of bags from becoming waste in our State every year. Just Bring Your Own Bag New York!
