Single-Use Plastic-Free Event in Massachusetts? YES!

THIS is progress! As someone who has been a part of many "eco-friendly" events over the past couple decades, I love seeing these kinds of changes. And I'm more than happy that Escape The Waste is an official partner of the event.

Launched last year, Mass Eco Fest was the first single-use plastic-free event in Massachusetts and the second annual event is happening next Saturday, June 28th.

🚫 NO new plastic wrapped products

🚫 NO plastic food packaging

🚫 NO plastic bags

👍 ALL sustainable options for things that we need and want

👍 Reusables are encouraged for attendees to celebrate a day where single use plastic takes a back seat

The main goal of the event is to create a family-friendly environment free of plastic! Mass Eco Fest will feature an array of activities including live music, family-friendly entertainment.

It's a day to celebrate our planet and highlight local makers, vendors, and individuals leading the charge against plastic pollution in Massachusetts. Vendors and food trucks are hand-picked to only include those who champion sustainability through practices such as pre-cycling, using natural materials, and upcycling existing resources.

I'll be at the event with an Escape The Waste booth and showcasing info on our sustainability events and films and our various reuse solutions for waste: STAY VOCAL clothing, Deek's scrap art, reuse mugs and more.

We'll also be outfitting all staff members and volunteers with REUSE! Because You Can't Recycle The Planet T-Shirts. No need to make volunteer shirts!

Cheers to Sabrina Auclair at Unpacked Living Inc. for putting this together and all of her tireless efforts for a better Massachusetts. For all of the event info, head to the Mass Eco Fest site.
