The proposed legislation would direct restaurants to provide foodware accessories, such as utensils, napkins, straws, and condiment packets, only when requested by customers. When these items are not needed, both restaurants and customers can help reduce waste and lower costs by choosing to skip the stuff.
The initiative directly supports the City's Climate Forward Action & Resilience Plan, specifically Strategy 3.2.3, which calls for reducing single-use plastics through "upon request" practices. Read the complete details of the proposal here.
