Stop the TNT adbag trashing of Tacoma and Puget Sound.

Stop The News Tribune's uninvited dumping of millions of plastic bag wrapped advertisements into our neighborhoods, streets and Puget Sound.

Why is this important?

Over the past year The News Tribune (The McClatchy Company) has tossed millions of unwanted plastic bag wrapped advertisements upon private and public property on a weekly basis. Many of the bags are left to decay in the street where they are washed away by rain directly into Puget Sound via our storm drains. The environmental damage to our Sound as a result is undeniable. Plastic particles are killing our oceans. Stop this indiscriminate trashing of our streets and our Sound by making The News Tribune deliver these "circulars" only to those who have personally requested it. Freedom of the Press is not freedom to mass-litter, especially with plastic. Let’s take a stand for what is right.
