I can only store and reuse a limited number of containers, and many <br />are too flimsy to be reusable. <br />5 <br />If a business wants to add this on their own, that's great. It should not be mandatory. <br />7/2/2024 8:10 PM <br />6 <br />As busy parents it is difficult to do all we want to for the environment, so this kind of program <br />7/2/2024 12:45 PM <br />is one we support whole-heartedly. <br />7 <br />I <br />0 <br />Microplastics are a serious issue. Other cities have similar ordinances. Besides, the 2024 MN <br />legislature required that all packaging be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2032. Might <br />as well get a head start! <br />Imperative that we take better care of our environment! <br />I like this solution if the technology is in place to make these and turn them around after use at <br />a reasonable cost. It seems one problem is that different towns/counties have different <br />requirements for recycling/composting, so if you buy a product in Anoka County, you might not <br />be able to recycletcompost it in Ramsey County. I n general, recycling has too many, and <br />conflicting, rules (e.g., leave bottle caps on or off?). With trash disposal, just one rule: toss it <br />in a garbage can, and too many people can't even do that. <br />7/1/2024 2:40 PM <br />6/29/2024 2:49 PM <br />6/9/2024 9:43 AM <br />7 / 14 Page 76 of 97 <br />
