  • With a plastic ban coming to Bozeman in May 2025, compostable cups and straws could become the new norm. What impact will Bozeman's plastic ban have on businesses and customers?

The video highlights interviews with local business owners, customers, and city officials discussing these various perspectives and the anticipated adjustments in daily operations.
