LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Employees at MGM are leading the charge for reducing plastic waste in Las Vegas.
The company's event production team have created a unique solution to substitute single-use floral foam—the industry standard for decades.
Instead of relying on the non-biodegradable substance, the team now uses chicken wire to hold floral arrangements in place inside vases and pots.
