SANTA CRUZ, CA — New Leaf Community Markets will stop selling single-use water bottles by Earth Day in an attempt to reduce waste. The "Earth-loving announcement" came Tuesday as the company seeks to remove some 70,000 single-use plastic, aluminum and glass bottles from its shelves per year. Bottles a liter or smaller will be impacted. New Leaf will continue to sell refillable single-serve still waters, single-serve bottles of sparkling and flavored water, and larger water jugs. New Leaf operates two stores in Santa Cruz, in addition to stores in Aptos, Capitola and Half Moon Bay.
