Why your support matters
No plastic bags..funny..everything you buy that goes into the plastic bag is made of plastic. Milk containers, juice yogurt etc. How dumb!!
Now when I throw away my garbage i’ll have to buy glad or hefty bags instead of using store bags. Doesn’t solbe anything.
I will like to have info on all kind of events in Brooklyn specially Willimasburg and Greenpoint, please add me to your mailing list. Thank you
