Description
Oceanside City Council unanimously passed a ban on Styrofoam containers and other products, as well as single-use plastic bags at its Tuesday night meeting.
Supporters of the ordinance say banning these plastic products will protect our oceans and beaches.
“Plastic’s a problem for our oceans, our beaches, our communities, and for public health for humans and animals as well," said Mitch Silverstein, San Diego County Policy Coordinator with the Surfrider Foundation.
“Everyone wants cleaner beaches; no one wants plastic in our communities. It’s just a matter of getting it right," added Silverstein.
CBS 8 spoke to business owners on and off camera. Some say the new ordinance would only raise their prices.
