As A Business
A business has many opportunities to adopt policies that can make a difference to the health of the Lagoon. Some simple changes matter and are highly visible to your customers.
Ways to make a difference:
Offer your customers paper bags vs. plastic.
Provide on premises visible ways for customers to properly dispose of cigarette butts.
Encourage customers to use less plastic by offering reusable bags for sale or as gifts with a minimum purchase.
Our Local Dining Establishments, as an example, have many viable ways to show customers they care about the health of the Indian River Lagoon

- Give diners the option to OPT OUT of using straws.
- Use compostable containers and utensils for carry out.
- Give diners the option to Bring Your Own Receptacles for leftovers.
