Such performative bullshit.
The environmental impact of an average NYC resident is already 30% of an average person in the US.
Improve mass transit options by just a little, and that’s going to be 1000x more gainful for the environment than all of the disposable forks combined.
The city launched thousands of balloons and millions of pieces of paper confetti, into the air during their NYE Times Square spectacular……but I’m not permitted to have a few napkins or a plastic fork with my take out?
Ok.
Society has become such performative theatrical stupidity with absolutely no substance or true desire for change
i feel like most places i order from already skip utensils unless you request them, this seems like they are just making that practice "official".
City full of multi millionaires flying private helicopters and planes everyday. NYC: fuck your napkins and utensils
This is the bullshit they spend their time on so that they can tout their green credentials. Bunch of bullshit.
Oh, great, now my DoorDash guy will have to use his bare fingers to nibble at my entree.
Stop going after normal people things. Corporations have left wild fish inedible and poisoned rivers. Only republitards would be foolish enough to think straws and plastic forks are the woes of an ecosystem.
One aspect that is often forgotten is how improved our waterways will be with less single use plastic. Our city is made up of 50 islands after all and those utensils and waste often end up in overflowing bins or washed down storm drains and have been coating the river beds and oceans for far too long.
Make it all out of bamboo or cellulose or some other biodegradable material and make it here and our city and surrounding environment will be much better off.
So biodegradable. Means a cleaner city also because they don’t have to be free. Charge for it if you want. And make it here so we have some local jobs created too. I see a win-win for everyone.
Aruba has already had this in place for a few years and it is super cool, and the beaches are cleaner than ever and much safer for wildlife as well.
