COTI Supports Farewell to Foam Act
Published on 7/18/2026
The Committee of the Islands (COTI) signed onto an important letter at the end of June that was sent to Florida’s Senators and Representatives to ask them to support the Farewell to Foam Act. This important Act would phase out the sale and distribution of single-use foam foodware, which is a risk to human and environmental health. Plastic foam pollutes oceans and harms our sea turtles, seabirds and other ocean wildlife. COTI believes it is time for Florida to step up and join the other 12 states that have passed legislation to curb single-use plastic foam. For the sake of our environment, our health and our barrier islands, we ask you to join us and ask our representatives in Florida government to take this important step forward.
