Starting the Conversation about plastic bag waste

Rethink Plastic is a new citizen group. Our goal in Watertown is to reduce pollution and waste from single-use plastic items such as bags, bottles, and styrofoam food containers and trays.

Over the past 12 months, we've reached out to citizens and businesses, large and small, and researched outcomes from other cities, states, and countries that have enacted measures to reduce plastic waste.  We'd like to tell you what we've learned and have a frank discussion about how Watertown can reduce pollution and waste. 

Please join us on July 29 at 7:30pm in the Community Room at the police station to get the conversation started. 

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
