Native Soil Farm’s Billie Washington issued a challenge:
Single-use plastic must be banned! This is our planet. Let’s start doing the right things.
I copied these words and want to pass them on. After seeing cows eating plastic bags in India I wanted to come home & do things differently.
Let’s make our beautiful little town of Toledo the first city in Lewis County to ban plastic. Little by little we can all make a difference.
