12 Sustainable Business Initiative City of Sebastian Natural Resources Board Objective: Incentivize city & local businesses to participate in existing sustainable business programs & adopt practices which emphasize resource conservation & reduce waste production Background Information: Current consumption relies largely on single-use items, particularly those made of plastic and expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam), which can create large amounts of waste for local landfills, create potential pollution of nearby marine ecosystems, and introduce plastics into the marine food chain Impacts of current plastic usage are wide-ranging, but can significantly impact local economics from the necessary cleanup efforts, loss of fisheries, and potential health care costs The city of Sebastian and surrounding regions represent the front line of marine plastic pollution as many local businesses are located right along the Indian River Lagoon estuary Programs encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable practices already exist (Litter Quitter & Surfrider s Ocean Friendly Restaurants), though obstacles still exist to their adoption, including lack of information regarding cost comparisons, lack of access to alternative options for single-use plastics, or lack of awareness that such programs exist Initiative Tasks: 1. Create information packet for business owners, which includes: a. Existing sustainable business programs & details of their existing benefits b. Cost comparisons for alternative items (biodegradable utensils, paper straws, paperboard to-go containers, etc.) c. Recycling service options & cost comparisons d. Providing vouchers from CRA funds for program registration fees, upfront costs to switch to sustainable options, installing recycling dumpsters, etc. 2. Highlight participating businesses with: a. Providing banners to advertise a business s initial adoption of program b. Providing signage unique to City of Sebastian ( Sustainable Sebastian?) as window decals for front doors/windows and table signs describing program information & benefits c. Invite business owners to City Council meeting to recognize a Sustainable Sebastian business of the month d. Providing advertisement through City of Sebastian newsletters e. Discounts on participation in annual Holiday Light-up Night and Earth Day/Arbor Day Celebration 3. Institute policies for City events to reflect sustainable practices a. No single-use plastics (straws, bags, cups, bottles) at city-sponsored events at Riverview Park 4. Create community task force involving city employees, NRB members, local organizations and participating business owners for the purposes of: a. Training individuals in the goals and practices of the city initiative b. Raising awareness within the community as task force members introduce Sustainable Sebastian initiative & related informational packets/advertisement opportunities to business owners c. Aiding business owners with compliance verification with existing programs d. Educate business owners of City requirements to remain participant as Sustainable Sebastian business, including requirement of maintaining existing sustainable business practices for minimum of 3 years, requirement of adding at least one additional sustainable business practice after 3 years, and additional requirements?

14 A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF MELBOURNE BEACH, FLORIDA SUPPORTING AN INITIATIVE TO RECOGNIZE BUSINESSES THAT FORMALLY COMMIT TO VOLUNTARILY REDUCTIONS IN THE USE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS AND EXPANDED POLYESTERSTYRENE (EPS) PRODUCTS WHEREAS, the Town of Melbourne Beach is diligent in its efforts to preserve the beautiful environment which supports an environmentally sound, clean and healthy community; and WHEREAS, an environmentally sound clean and healthy community is vital to the quality of life in Melbourne Beach; and WHEREAS, the Town of Melbourne Beach recognizes that our beaches and the Atlantic Ocean are a primary natural habitat for sea turtles and other marine life; and WHEREAS, the Town of Melbourne Beach is in close proximity to the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge and our beaches are renowned as an area where large numbers of sea turtles choose to nest in the natural habitat, and WHEREAS, single-use plastics include plastic beverage bottles, straws, lids, bags, and utensils; and WHEREAS, EPS products include Styrofoam to-go containers, leftover food containers ( clamshells ), and drink and frozen dessert cups; and WHEREAS, plastics and EPS products are not biodegradable (only breaking down into smaller pieces which become ever more difficult to manage), litter our landscape and beaches, pollute our ocean and lagoon, kill or injure an estimated one million or more sea turtles, seabirds and other wildlife annually, pollute the environment for generations, take years to decompose and, if ignored, create permanent damage to the environment; and WHEREAS, scientists estimate that, at the current rates, there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the oceans by 2050; and WHEREAS, an estimated 500 million straws are used daily in the United States; and WHEREAS, only 31.1% of all plastic bottles sold were recycled, leaving approximately 34,000,000,000 (34 billion) plastic bottles to be littered or placed in landfills; and WHEREAS, the financial cost to make our beaches, the ocean, and the Indian River Lagoon clean and safe increases due, in part, to the need to collect and remove single-use plastics and EPS products; and.
