Single-use plastics are a significant contributor to environmental pollution and climate change. They take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to long-lasting damage to our ecosystems. In the United States alone, over 35 billion plastic bottles are thrown away each year (source: Environmental Protection Agency). Paducah, KY is not immune to this issue. By banning single-use plastics in our city, we can reduce waste and protect our local environment for future generations. Let's make Paducah a leader in environmental sustainability! Please sign this petition urging the City Council of Paducah to ban single-use plastics.
