Responsible Consumption and Production

Primary Goal for Maine Nugs

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. This goal promotes efficient use of natural resources, reduction of food waste, environmentally sound management of chemicals and waste, and encouragement of sustainable practices by companies and consumers.

Marketplace Connection

Every item reused through a local swap marketplace is one fewer item manufactured, shipped, and eventually sent to a landfill.

๐ŸŒฒ What This Means for Maine

Maine's bottle bill tradition and community thrift culture make responsible consumption a natural fit for a local reuse marketplace.
