Plastic Reduction Survey for Business Owners
In 2018, Beaufort County passed an ordinance that limits the use of thin, plastic, single-use bags. Since then, there has been an increase in the use of non-biodegradable items such as heavier plastic bags, plastic utensils and straws, and Styrofoam cups and carry-out containers, which pose significant long-term threats to our environment. The county is evaluating the issue and considering ways to alleviate the negative impact on our community. The following survey will help us make an informed decision for the future of Beaufort County, its businesses and residents.
