If America鈥檚 beaches are messy, then Miami鈥檚 beaches are a hot mess. Dave Doebler, a member of Miami Beach鈥檚 Sustainability Committee, told that just last week, 800 pounds of trash was picked up from the shoreline during beach cleanups.
But to counteract the ill environmental effects of plastic bags on South Beach, Miami government will have to ban the ban on banning plastic bags. .
Although local lawmakers are finding ways to agree on allowing actions against plastic bags, beach authorities are taking measures to enforce environmental regulations by placing recycling bins on the beaches and enforcing mandatory recycling programs.
