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 from MSN discusses the impact of Bozeman, Montana's new plastic ban on local businesses and customers. Starting in July, the city will ban single-use plastic bags, requiring businesses to switch to alternatives like paper or reusable bags. This change aims to reduce environmental pollution but poses challenges for businesses, particularly in terms of cost and logistics. For instance, businesses will need to invest in new bag supplies, which could increase their operational costs. Customers might face a small fee for bags, encouraging the use of reusable options. The ban has sparked a mix of reactions; some business owners and environmentalists support the move towards sustainability, while others worry about the economic implications and potential customer inconvenience. The video highlights interviews with local business owners, customers, and city officials discussing these various perspectives and the anticipated adjustments in daily operations.
