Politicians in Rhode Island are pushing legislation that could put schools, restaurants, food pantries, retirement homes and other organizations and businesses on the hook to pick up a costly tab.
Through several pieces of legislation (S. 14, S. 15 and H.5090), Rhode Island could ban polystyrene packaging, which would force private and public entities in Rhode Island to replace their food service packaging with more expensive alternatives. This would not only significantly increase costs for these entities but it could also increase costs for taxpayers and consumers.
Stand up for Rhode Island schools, restaurants, charities and families in your area. Tell your legislators to vote “no” on S. 14, S. 15 and H.5090.
