Solution:
As I previously stated, the solution to the issue of single-use plastics lie in the alternatives available, and the level of awareness that is spread on the matter. The plan for this begins with hosting beach clean-ups to inform consumers of how they affect the environment around them. I could potentially sell metal, paper, or bamboo straws, reusable bags and water bottles, and maybe even clothing made with sustainable resources such as recycled plastics. This can also be done through presentations at local elementary, middle, and high schools, and scheduled meetings with city officials. All in all, I would be providing a service to the community while running a profitable business.
Hey Yehudy, if a business is able to benefit from this mission...have at it! Waste Management is a billion dollar company for a reason. There's clearly money in trash and recycling. I saw a post on facebook however showing the irony behind wanting to eliminate the plastic water bottle but as soon a serious hurricane threatens, the stores are empty. Good luck.
