Plastic Utensils “Ask First” Campaign
Check out the 17 businesses that joined the pilot in summer 2017
Have you ever gotten home with your take-out food only to find a bag full of plastic utensils and napkins that are destined to go straight in the trash? In our mission to reduce waste in San Rafael, the City teamed up with 17 downtown businesses as part of our “Ask First” pilot campaign. Each business has pledged to ask each customer if they would like utensils and napkins with their to-go order. Look around downtown for our “We ask before giving out utensils” stickers on restaurant businesses to see who has committed to reducing waste this way!
Reasons businesses stated they were asking before giving out plastic utensils:
Sol Food - “It’s so simple”
Double Rainbow Cafe – “We save money, help the environment & customers love it!”
To all of the businesses who participated - thank you for caring for the environment!
