SANTA CRUZ COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE SAYING “NO” TO PLASTICS IN WHAT COULD BE THE LARGEST BAN OF PLASTIC POLLUTION IN COUNTY HISTORY.
AMONG THE PLASTICS THAT COULD BE BANNED ARE: WATER BOTTLES, HELIUM BALLOONS, CIGARETTES WITH FILTERS, E-CIGARETTES, DISPOSABLE PODS AND MUCH MORE. SANTA CRUZ COUNTY’S ZERO WASTE PROGRAM WANTS TO HEAR FROM THE LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY, ENVIORNMENTAL GROUPS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
SO FAR, THERE ARE NO ORDINANCES ON THE AMBITIOUS PLASTIC BAN BUT THE EFFORT TO CRACK DOWN ON WASTE COMES FROM OUR LOCATION TO THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS SET TO REVIEW THE LIST OF POTENTIAL BANNED PLASTICS ON AUGUST 6TH.
