Corvallis Climate Board Considers 'Skip the Stuff' Ordinance and Reviews Climate Action Plan

The Climate Action Advisory Board (CAAB) discussed a proposed 'Skip the Stuff' ordinance, which would require businesses to provide single-use items like utensils and straws only upon customer request, rather than automatically. This policy aims to reduce waste, decrease litter, conserve resources, and save businesses money. The board also reviewed and approved minutes from previous meetings and discussed revisions to a gap analysis report, a home retrofit clinic recommendation, and funding strategies for community climate initiatives.
