Learn how to help local businesses kick plastic!
Thu Mar 7, 7:00 PM - Thu Mar 7, 9:00 PM

The Suncoast Rise Above Plastics Coalition is proud of our city and its leadership, but our work here is not done! We want these ordinances to be successful, and to benefit everybody. As such, we are working to provide outreach to local businesses to make the transition easy, informed, and cost efficient.

To do that we need as many business-and-ocean-loving boots on the ground as possible. Do you love supporting local businesses? Do you love making change in your community? Come out to Pinellas Ale Works and learn how to make a difference.

Join a dynamic team and support our local businesses, and our local environment.
