Title... connect to ocean/coastal comm.
In the Gros Morne Region, a lot of business is driven by tourism with over 200,000 visitors coming to the national park each year. With a population of less than 4000 people, this ,....... . This creates an opportunity for businesses and municipalities across the region to ensure visitors have a sustainable experience within our communities, and the impacts that result are positive ones.
AHOI launched the pilot project for Gros Morne businesses in 2021. This program is part of the Zero Plastic Waste Initiative funding from ECCC, which allows us to focus on reducing unnecessary single-use plastics (SUP) in various areas of our economy and communities. One of our goals is to help the business sector in the Gros Morne region move towards reusable and compostable products. Businesses and operators have an opportunity to help reduce plastic waste by reducing its sale, distribution, and use. Together with the participating businesses, AHOI identify and sourced environmentally-friendly alternatives for the single-use products that they have been using.
