(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – A new Los Angeles ordinance that bans automatically giving out plastic eating utensils unless the customer specifically asks for them went into effect on Monday, with the city becoming the largest city in the world to have such a law in the books.
The ordinance was first proposed earlier this year by LA Councilmen Paul Krekorian and Paul Koretz. Both Councilmen brought forth the bill to reduce plastic usage in the city, as well as to cut down costs in the city. Koretz specifically noted in the proposal that having plastic utensils being a solely “on demand” option, businesses save between $3,000 and $21,000 a year and that banning them would even have an effect on fossil fuel usage.
