To the members of the Sustainability Board,
My name is Terry Quatraro, I am a former member of the Bozeman Beautification
Advisory Board and Gallatin County Solid Waste Board .
To promote Sustainability and reduce the use of single use plastics as was voted
overwhelmingly by the Bozeman City residents, and to create a" Healthy Earth, Healthy
You" which is the theme for Gallatin Valley Earth Day (GVED) 2026 I am asking this
Board to help in the following ways:
To remind the public to bring their reusable bags into the store when shopping Gallatin
Valley Beyond Plastics (GVBP) and GVED are sponsoring a contest of 4th and 5th grade
students in Gallatin Valley to create a poster to remember to bring their reusable bags to
the store. I am asking the Sustainability Board to help select the finalists from the
submitted entries. GVBP AND GVED will then select the winning poster. I am hoping
that the City of Bozeman would be able to include this year's winning poster on its
website.
To allow GVBP volunteers to help the Bozeman City Staff reduce their use of single use
plastics. GVBP is also willing to help defray the costs involved ie posters, receptacles,
information on the harmful effects of microplastics
In conclusion, I am also asking that this Board review information submitted by an
expert on the harmful effects of microplastics and recycling, and assist in presenting the
information to be included as a link on the city website under Solid Waste
Thank you for your consideration on the above requests.
Sincerely,
Terry Quatraro 406 580 3681
