Ban Single-Use Water Bottles & Bags, Lincoln!

The Massachusetts chapter worked with local activists to help Lincoln pass a law that bans single-use plastic check-out bags (Article 32) and non-reusable water bottles (Articles 33/34).

The chapter submitted a letter of testimony and participated in an online business forum to support the campaign.

The ordinance passed on March 26, 2018, and goes into effect on January 1, 2019.

Read the law here, and check out the chapter's testimony, here.
