SUSTAINABILITY POLICY
The Galloway Green Market encourages “eco-friendly” and “reusable” rather than “disposable” materials in the following ways:
-
The market is “single-use plastic bag-free.”
No single-use plastic bags will be permitted at the market.
The only exception will be for fish/seafood and meat vendors that package their product on ice.
-
The market discourages the sale or distribution of plastic water bottles, plastic cups, and Styrofoam cups, plates, and take-out containers; plastic utensils (forks,knives, spoons) and plastic straws. Alternatives include: biodegradable, corn-based utensils, wooden popsicle sticks, recyclable paper utensils and paper and/or bamboo straws. Our collective pursuit of sustainable practices will encourage our customers to develop good habits like using reusable bags, coolers, canteens, and flatware.
This inherently reduces waste and minimizes our carbon footprint, giving small changes a chance to make a BIG difference!
