As the San Jose City Council prepares to vote this fall on whether to ban plastic and paper shopping bags, a new study being released today underscores the growing problem of plastic trash in Bay Area waterways, including Coyote Creek.

The creek, which runs through parts of unincorporated Santa Clara County as well as Morgan Hill, San Jose and Milpitas before emptying into San Francisco Bay, is among the Top 10 "Bay Trash Hot Spots" of 2009 named in the study by Save The Bay.

The environmental advocacy group's fourth annual list of polluted area waterways was compiled based on the number of plastic bags volunteers removed from those sites during last year's Coastal Cleanup Day. All told, 184 tons of waste were collected from the bay, including more than 26,000 plastic bags. About 1,100 bags were collected from Coyote Creek alone.

Save The Bay estimates that 1 million plastic bags end up in the bay annually.

"On that day alone, 15,000 bags were removed from just these 10 spots," said David Lewis, executive director of Save The Bay. Countless others, he said, blow and wash into creeks and storm drains that carry them into the bay.
