Plastic Reduction Initiatives
Summary
The commission is backing a push for a Virginia bottle bill — a container-deposit recycling law like Oregon's. Jaimi O'Keefe made a recorded pitch, and the commission plans to spread the word and promote the petition. The October 1 "Bag It" film screening and fall cleanups are part of the same push.
