Do you feel helpless when you see the amount of plastic (much of it non-recyclable) in our grocery stores, delivery take-out containers, online-shopping deliveries, and elsewhere? You can make a difference in addressing this problem. On Saturday, January 10, at 4 p.m. in the Town Hall, come hear speakers from MoCo Beyond Plastic who will tell us what efforts are underway at the county and state level to confront the plastic waste crisis and how, together, we can make change. Bring your questions and ideas!

In support of the county’s Bring Your Own Bag Law that went into effect on New Year’s Day, Mary Anzora, the manager of Americana Grocery in Silver Spring, has created a “reusable bag library” for her customers and reports that the bags go fast. Please bring clean, gently used (or new) reusable bags to the presentation, and they will be delivered to the grocery store.
