That momentum was carried into policy and everyday action. The Reusable LA coalition launched the all-new Hold the Plastic guide, giving Angelenos an easy way to take plastic reduction into their own hands and look up the latest local laws for restaurants and businesses across the city. Search up the laws that apply to you and your favorite restaurants and discover tools to help businesses reduce single-use plastic waste.
At the April Nothin’ But Sand Beach Cleanup, more than 800 participants gathered at Santa Monica Pier Beach, one of LA’s most iconic (and most polluted) beaches, and removed over 220 pounds of trash. Each piece collected represents one less threat to marine life and a step toward a healthier coastline. There’s a reason why thousands of people across the region have joined Heal the Bay’s clean ups: they’re as impactful as they are fun.
