Roncy Reduces
Together, let's reduce single-use plastics & packaging in our neighbourhood! A grassroots initiative to help consumers & businesses reduce waste.
Roncy Reduces: A Community Initiative
Our goal is to reduce single-use plastics and packaging in our neighbourhood by encouraging both consumers and businesses to practice waste reduction together.
The plastic we use and throw away everyday is poisoning our planet. Plastic garbage can be found everywhere, including as microscopic pieces in our food and water. This is because plastic does not decompose, it only breaks down into smaller pieces. Plastic packaging is almost always new plastic, and we produce more of it than we can recycle.
The good news is, much of the plastic we use can be avoided. One easy way for everyone to do their part is to minimize single-use plastic by using reusable containers such as coffee cups, water bottles, string bags for produce, cloth bags for bread and bulk food, reusable containers for takeout food and deli items such as meat and cheese or a reusable shopping bag.
We are inviting neighbourhood businesses to participate in this initiative by displaying our Roncy Reduces sticker at the door and accepting customers’ reusable containers whenever possible.
