OUR MISSION
To encourage the use of reusable checkout bags for the benefit of our town's environment and citizens.
Plastic bags pose a threat to the Long Island Sound, wildlife, natural areas, and health of the Guilford community. It is our goal to inspire citizens to replace single-use plastic checkout bags with reusable bags to decrease our town's plastic waste.
There is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere.
Our goals
Step one: Increase the use and distribution of reusable bags.
Step two: Pass an ordinance prohibiting single-use plastic checkout bags.
Step three: Place a small fee on paper bags in order to create an incentive to bring reusable bags.
