Single-Use Toiletry Bottles

In November, Santa Cruz County became the first jurisdiction in the US to officially ban single-use plastic toiletry bottles across the hospitality industry. The measure passed unanimously, and we applaud Supervisor Zach Friend for his leadership.

Next, the City of Santa Cruz is poised to take action as well with Councilwomen Brown and Meyers taking the lead. We foresee Watsonville following suit in the near future. Also, outreach to Monterey County Board of Supervisors was underway earlier this year.
