BILL ALERT!![]()
Today the bill initiated by Glendale Environmental Coalition and Green Lunchroom and other local champions of the environment, Senator Anthony Portantino's SB 1255, which would provide grants for K-12 public and charter schools and community colleges in California to purchase and install industrial dishwashers to reduce single use cafeteria waste, is a consent item in the Assembly Committee on Education.![]()
If SB1255 passes today, it is on to Appropriations and then goes for a final vote in the Assembly, and on to the Governor for his John Hancock. Please wish us luck!![]()
This is a momentous opportunity for educational facilities to reduce waste in a smart way that gets to the core of the issue - the need for industrial dishmachines to allow for washing and reusing foodware in school cafeterias. It is being looked at by districts not only across our state, but across the country, as others may seek to create similar legislation. Why? Because it just makes sense.![]()
We are so grateful to Senator Portantino for championing this legislation and for the support of environmental groups (thank you Californians Against Waste, Surfrider Foundation, Center for Environmental Health, BAN Single Use Plastics - BAN SUP, Plasticfreerestaurants.org, Sierra Club California and so many others!) and educational groups (thank you California State PTA and Board of Glendale Unified School District !) and cities across California (thank you San Francisco and City of Los Angeles!) for supporting this legislation!![]()
Let's Go SB1255!![]()
