Decreasing Single Use Plastics

A big win!  Our consultation with the Salisbury Green Team in crafting Ordinance 2756, Ordinance 2576, was successful. It was passed by the City Council 11/28/22, will go into effect 6/30/23 and will prohibit Salisbury retailers from providing plastic carryout bags at point of sale.

Shoppers Survey Findings

Members of the Lower Eastern Shore Sierra Club and the Surfrider Foundation, conducted an observatiional survey of the types of bags used by shoppers exiting 15 chain stores in our four counties (see details Here).
The prevalence of the single-use plastic bags was obvious and alarming.
Share these results freely. Use them as evidence of the plastic pollution problem we're facing.
