Chelsea, MI

Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. The City of Chelsea adopted a resolution calling for the repeal of a Michigan state law that currently prevents local governments from restricting or taxing single-use plastics. The resolution highlights environmental concerns about plastic pollution, including the large amount of plastic debris entering the Great Lakes and the greenhouse gases produced during plastic manufacturing. Chelsea supports a state bill that would allow local governments to create their own policies to reduce plastic use and address plastic pollution. The city argues that having local authority to regulate plastics is necessary to protect the environment and public health from the effects of plastic waste and microplastics.
