Support the Cleveland Heights Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) Strategy 3.2:
Reduce Disposable Use and Plastic Waste Pollution Action: Encourage Restaurants to Adopt an "Upon Request" Policy for Plastic Utensils
Implementing an “upon request” single-use plastic reduction strategy in restaurants involves providing items like straws, utensils, and condiment packets only when customers specifically ask for them. This approach:
• Reduces unnecessary plastic consumption and demand.
• Lowers costs for businesses.
• Encourages safer, more sustainable dining practices.
• Accommodates customer needs effectively.
By signing this petition, you will support Cleveland Heights restaurants in transitioning to an “upon request” policy in alignment with CARP Strategy 3.2. Our objective is to gather at least 2000 signatures by July 31, 2025.
