Ruth McHenry and Linda Ruthledge nominated Matt for his work in reducing reliance on single-use plastic bags in the Copper Basin.
Matt works at the Glennallen Landfill and noticied a proliferation of plastic bags in the surronding trees. As a result, Matt started a petition and took it to the local business managers and the Chamber of Commerce.
In less then a year, the local grocery store, IGA, switched from plastic to paper or reuseable bags.
