EcoTianguis has planted the seed to grow into a plastic-free zone.

If you are reading this, chances are that you are already well aware of the impact of plastic pollution in our lives, communities and world.*   It is another example of how we are all, indeed, connected and living together.  Every choice has an impact. Single-use plastic bottles, bags, containers and cups are used for just minutes and remain for thousands of years in landfills and the oceans. 

Thus, it “organically” follows that the EcoTianguis is on its way to become plastic-free.   The commitment has taken root and the details are growing.  The vendors are working to find ways to provide their goods and eliminate single-use plastic.   This conversion process includes asking customers to bring their own bags, containers and baskets for carrying produce home or, initially, and for a limited time, to pay extra for each plastic bag provided by the vendor.  There will be sustainable alternatives available for purchase at the market as well.
