The most effective way to get restaurants change is regulation. In 2/2018, Malibu was the first in LA to regulate single-use utensils, that must be truly compostable - wood, bamboo, edible (https://www.malibucity.org/DocumentCenter/View/17169/Plastic-Free-Guideline-Straws-Stirrers-and-Cutlery-Ban). A few cities followed suit, including Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica. We have much more work to do. Would you like to join us? Which city do you live in? Thanks!
