Shedd aquarium pushes restaurants to reduce plastic use
Published
CHICAGO - Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium has launched a program encouraging restaurants to reduce the use of plastic.
To take part, restaurants have to commit to study their plastic use and seek alternatives when possible. For example, they could offer to-go plastic cutlery by request. The aquarium will provide training and tips.
Roughly 22 million pounds of plastic enter the Great Lakes each year, half of which enters Lake Michigan, according to estimates calculated by the Rochester Institute of Technology. The Shedd’s program is supported by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration program.
