Petition to Limit the Sale of Non-Carbonated, Non-Flavored Water in Single-Use Plastic Bottles

Cleaner Greener Hingham, a Town-chartered volunteer committee, is proposing a bylaw to limit single-use plastics in Hingham. Under this bylaw, it shall be unlawful to sell non-carbonated, unflavored drinking water in single-use plastic bottles of less than one gallon in the Town of Hingham.

The purpose of this bylaw is to protect the environment and public health through reducing solid waste and unnecessary strains on recycling resources, minimizing litter, reducing the Town’s carbon footprint and climate change impacts, preserving local waterways, and protecting the health of Hingham residents and visitors by reducing the sale and disposal of single use plastic water bottles. 

In passing such a bylaw, Hingham would join 24 other communities in Massachusetts that already have such bylaws in effect. 

The Commercial Single-use Plastic Bottle Ban - in effect in 15 communities across Cape Cod and on which Hingham’s proposed bylaw has been modeled - is endorsed by the Massachusetts Sierra Club.

Do you support a bylaw banning the sale of non-flavored, non-carbonated water in single-use plastic bottles less than one gallon in size? 

Please share this petition with other Hingham residents.
