SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2018 | 7A PLASTICS from page 1A Siuslaw Vision seeks community input on education survey “This will involve having educators working with school children and local groups on how to repurpose and recycle, as well as how to find alternatives to plastics. That is why we will be starting the writing campaign to corporations to urge them to change their packaging.” She said the workshop is an opportunity for concerned community members to partici- pate and bring awareness to better alternatives to corporations’ wasteful use of plastic in their packaging, labeling and shipping materials. Members of FOR, and their sister groups, will also be participating in the third annual Florence Women’s March on Saturday, Jan. 19, in support of hundreds of similar marches across the country. The purpose of the march is too express opposition to many initiatives implemented by the current federal adminis- tration.
