Excellent info. On Monday at town meeting, Brewster is voting on a ban of single use plastic food containers, including the compostable kind. The problem is with those, they need to be handled in an environment that allows them to compost. Normal trash not only doesn't allow that to happen, but when they are buried in trash heaps, give off harmful gases.
There is also a lack of eduction around handling compostable trash, what to do, where to bring it, etc,
Must be something in the water in Yarmouth these days. Net-Zero us an elusive but essential goal for the Cape and Islands and everywhere. We need to embrace the vision of a brighter future and make it happen and now is the time. It appears that much of the work with what I have been preaching for the last 30 years will happen in my lifetime. Everyone felt it at Yarmouth Town Meeting on Tuesday.

Thanks for this. Is there an overall recycling committee for the cape? I’d like to get involved.
