Rather than waste money on expensive, polluting facilities, Rhode Island should pursue strategies that reduce the amount of plastic consumed and produced in the first place.
Thanks to support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Plastic Free Restaurants, a new waste reduction program called ReThink Disposable has made its way to Philadelphia and is playing a new and essential part in helping reduce trash and litter in the city.
Teaming up with reusable cup providers, r.World and TURN, along with the San Francisco Environment Department, we've achieved a remarkable feat eliminating disposable cups at historic Bay Area music venues.
Whether you are a restaurant interested in reusable foodware, an NGO engaging with restaurants, civil entity promoting reuse, or concerned individual, you're invited to join our ReThink Disposable team for a monthly open and virtual office hour chat!
