Plastic Free NBV#PlasticFreeNBV is working to reduce plastic usage by empowering residents and business owners to implement best practices and become stewards of our environment. The program has been designed with a cumulative 3-level system in which participating businesses can choose the most suitable level to their current plastic reduction practices. The more single-use plastic items businesses move away from, the higher the level they can obtain.
We invite you to become a part of this program by pledging to reduce single-use plastics within your business. Whether you’re a restaurant, retail store, music venue or caterer; we can all do our part in protecting the environment we love. After all, North Bay Village could not be a tropical paradise without its natural beauty!
By joining #PlasticFreeNBV and once your business reaches one of the levels below, North Bay Village will provide tailored marketing collateral and recognize your business efforts through all of its communication vehicles.
