Brickbat: Single-Use Stipulation
The Napa County, California, Board of Supervisors has banned single-use plastic bags and utensils. Restaurants will have to provide dine-in customers with reusable utensils and carry-out customers with utensils and bags made from natural fibers that are certified compostable. Grocery stores, farmers markets, and others venues that serve carry-out food must also provide compostable bags. The law also requires businesses to charge customers 25 cents per bag, but customers paying with low-income welfare programs like EBT and WIC are exempt from those fees.
