A group of Santa Monica High School students protest for the ban of plastic bags on Tuesday, February 19, 2008, in front of City Hall before the council meeting. The Santa Monica City Council is scheduled to vote on drafting an ordinance to ban plastic bags in the city during February 19th hearing at City Hall.  The ban that is being considered (which is recommended by the city's staff), is a far-reaching and comprehensive approach to the problem of single-use plastic and paper bag consumption.
