Join the Cape Plastic Bottle Ban

As a community-based volunteer led and staffed organization on Cape Cod, we are focused on promoting local stewardship of our environment and the long-term sustainability of the Cape. We organize community-building and educational events on the values and benefits of conscious consumption for long-term sustainability.

We are currently engaged in three ongoing community initiatives:

• The Cape Plastic Bottle Ban campaign, a grassroots effort to promote understanding and civic engagement with respect to the adverse consequences of plastic consumption on both human and environmental health. The Ban initiative was announced in March 2018 and has been covered by multiple news outlets. 
• Sustainable Practices Sustainability Film Series, is a documentary screening series started in the fall of 2017. Due to COVID-19 our films are presently screened online and are available on-demand. Please see our Virtual Film Series page  for a listing and schedule of films and to order tickets.
• Sustainable Practices, a podcast and radio show, is hosted by WOMR and airs the second and fourth Monday of every month at 12:30 pm. . Podcasts are available for listening on-demand under Events on on the WOMR website.

As part of our routine civic engagement we maintain four  Adopt-A-Highway sites and one Adopt-A-Visibility site on highway 6 on Cape Cod. Our areas are cleared of and patrolled for debris by volunteers on a monthly basis between April and November. Our sites are located between exits 10 and 12 on both the eastbound and westbound lanes of the highway and include the Eastham Rotary, where highway 6A and 6 merge.
