Say No to Plastic – One Bag at a Time

Join our new 2026 community project dedicated to reducing plastic pollution in our canals, harbor, and mangroves, while protecting local marine wildlife including turtles, dolphins, manatees, and seabirds🩷

😥Sad news: It only takes 1 plastic bag to kill a sea turtle

🥰Good news: 🌱 1 person saying no to plastic bags daily = 1,000 fewer bags in our canals and ocean each year a

🌍 20,000 Punta Gorda residents together = 22 million bags kept out of our waterways and marine habitats annually

🎯 Help us reach our donation goal of $8500 to launch prizes! This will fund the project for a full year! 

Your support helps us:

💙 Provide reusable bags to the community

🎁 Fund fun, surprise cash prize giveaways from $100- $500 given out each month to shoppers spotted using reusable bags around Punta Gorda.  The more donations collected, the bigger and more frequent the prizes!

How it works

1️⃣ Donate & get a reusable bag

2️⃣ Use it when you shop

3️⃣ Get spotted → Win CASH

This is a positive, inclusive, and community-driven project designed to encourage kind, nature-loving habit changes we can all make together, one reusable bag at a time!

Whether you want to give to a good cause 😇, help maintain our beautiful coastlines 🌊, protect our special wildlife 🐬, enjoy cleaner beaches and waterways🏖️, wish to get more involved in the community 💜, or you just want a chance to win one of our monthly cash prize giveaways 🤑, then this project has something for you!
