Say So Long to Polystyrene Foodware, Sudbury!

By thomas yuan

Surfrider.org praises Sustainable Sudbury and the LS Environmental Club and Sustainable Sudbury/Surfrider member Alex Vai for getting the town to pass an article at the 2020 town meeting for a bylaw banning polystyrene products:

The bylaw prohibits retail and food establishments from using, distributing, or selling disposable food service ware made using foam or solid polystyrene. The bylaw also prohibits retail establishments from selling certain items made from unencapsulated foam polystyrene. For more details about the proposed policy, please contact .

Volunteers from the Chapter worked closely alongside volunteers from Sustainable Sudbury and the Lincoln-Sudbury High School Environmental Club. The chapter drafted petition language and enough signatures were collected ahead of the 1/31/2020 deadline to ensure inclusion of the proposed article in the town meeting warrant.
