Governor Scott has signed S.113 into law, effectively banning single-use plastics across Vermont. This achievement belongs to the individuals who advocated for a cleaner environment in our state. We must now turn our attention toward ensuring that local businesses have the resources needed for a smooth transition to sustainable alternatives.

The Vermont State is considering passing a very important bill, S.113, the most comprehensive environmental bill on plastic pollution in the nation. S.113, if passed, will ban plastic straws, plastic bags and polystyrene (Styrofoam) altogether in the state. The Vermont State Legislature has passed legislation. We are now calling on Governor Phil Scott to sign S.113 into a law.
With 8 million tons of plastic flowing into the oceans, we do not want more plastics. Support the S.113. Help us ban single-use plastic products and apply a fee on paper bags to ensure a shift to reusable products in the Green Mountain State.

Styrofoam is literally everywhere in our trash. Governor Scott needs to sign this already.
WHY ARE WE STILL USING PLASTIC STRAWS IN 2019?? VOTE YES.
The plastics industry is on track to burn 14 % of the world's remaining carbon budget.
Our oceans are dying because of all this plastic waste. Do the right thing.
Too much garbage in our beautiful state. Ban this stuff.
Yes
no plastic to save the earth
