RED ROSE REUSES - building a sustainable future for us all.
RED ROSE REUSES - building a sustainable future for us all.
A collaboration of organizations looking to introduce solution-based reduction of single use plastics within the City of Lancaster.
Based on the impact of our six week program The Plastics Awareness Project held in the spring of 2024, the College Park Climate Action Neighborhood, in conjunction with other community groups and individuals, is actively working towards a meaningful reduction in single use plastics. As other Pennsylvania cities, towns and municipalities work to reduce single-use plastic products, we feel that with a thoughtful, solutions based approach, Lancaster City businesses and the communities they serve will embrace these environmentally impactful steps.
