Item 1: For membership to vote on whether to create a new Coop committee called the “Plastic Reduction Committee” (45 minutes)

Proposal: To hold a membership vote on a new Coop action committee – the Plastic Reduction Committee – to work with and in support of Coop staff to reduce the Coop’s reliance on plastic, which has detrimental impacts on health, environment and climate.

Discussion: For the well-being of the Coop, any candidate for the position of Treasurer of the Park Slope Food Coop must, at the time of the election, be a General Coordinator who is chiefly responsible for the financial operations of the Coop. This modifies the language in the Park Slope Food Coop Guide to the General and Annual Meetings.
