“Nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute the environment for hundreds of years" San Diego State Senate Padilla introduces a bill to require plastic bottle manufacturers tether caps to plastic bottles. This is equivalent to "Connect the Cap" that Zero Waste San Diego has been pushing for years. EU is requiring this be implemented by 2027 - only logical our beautiful beaches and fragile marine ecosystems in California also follow suit. https://lnkd.in/gQjQpzBh “Nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute the environment for hundreds of years,” said Laura Deehan, Director of Environment California. “Common-sense solutions, such as tethered bottle caps, reduce litter and protect marine life from needlessly being harmed by choking hazards.” “Plastic caps are mistaken for food by sea turtles, seabirds, whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions and other creatures, cause terrible harm in the form of internal injuries, starvation, and toxic poisoning from these plastic products,” said Jennifer Savage, California Policy Associate Director, Surfrider Foundation.
