27 Jan 2023 --- Yesterday, Connecticut governor Ned Lamont announced new efforts to address Connecticut’s (US) waste crisis. While Just Zero, Bring Your Own Connecticut and Sierra Club Connecticut applaud the governor’s focus on waste, they are concerned whether the methods will be productive in properly eliminating plastic waste. The legislation is said to overhaul the state’s entire waste management system. Lamont’s proposals would tackle 40% of Connecticut’s waste shipped to other states including food waste and recycling. The plan is a part of a larger legislation package to come in February this year.
