USAG Ansbach Plastic Free Month 2022
Join Directorate of Public Works effort for a plastic-free Garrison and review and reduce your individual plastic consumption. As part of the Garrison’s awareness efforts, DPW EMD has organized a field trip to the Solid Waste Recycling Facility in Markt Berolzheim on 8 April from 0845 to noon. Interested community member may contact DPW EMD @ DSN 467-3424 / 3306 or 09802-83-3424 / 3306 to register. A TMP bus with 16 available spots will ferry all participants to and from the recycling facility. The meeting point for the bus is in front of the MP station (Bldg. 5843A) in Katterbach at 8:45AM. We all use disposable plastic items such as bottles, bags and takeaway containers just a few minutes because it is convenient. The major problem is, these items are made out of a material that is designed to last forever and they present a permanent pollution, as they do not decompose. For this reason, USAG Ansbach is once again hosting a Plastic Free Month (PFM) this upcoming April. For the entire month of April, the Garrison is dedicated to minimizing the plastic used across all installations and also to educate and encourage people to be more aware of their personal plastic use.
