The Petaluma Reusable Cup Project is a pilot program aimed at reducing single-use plastic waste, with businesses utilizing purple reusable cups and drop-off bins.
Dawna Mirante, owner of Refill Mercantile, noted that the program encourages mindfulness about daily environmental impacts and starts conversations on reusability.
Petaluma city officials reported a huge success with over 150,000 cups returned in the first two months, significantly preventing waste from reaching landfills.
Resident Taylor Stone highlighted the program's success due to easy access to reusable cups and recycling bins, facilitating proper disposal.
