All Welcome to attend "Plastic Reduction Initiative" on Sunday

Medfield Plastic Reduction Initiative to Host Public Info Forum- Your Input is Important to Us!

The Medfield Plastic Reduction Initiative is hosting another public information forums to discuss the impact of plastic bag use in our community and what actions we might take to reduce our share of the problem.

Plastic bags do not biodegrade!

Plastic bags eventually break down in the presence of light, but the process takes between 200-1000 years to complete. During that time, the bags break into tiny plastic particles and infiltrate every step of the food chain. In response, 87 cities and towns in Massachusetts have banned thin-film, single-use plastic bags at checkout.

Please join us to learn more about the problem and share your views on what the Medfield community can do about it.

We are meeting in the Public Safety Building, 112 North Street on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 3:30 pm. We look forward to a great turnout!
