Pass a Skip the Stuff Ordinance across the towns of Cape Cod
Help Surfrider’s Cape & Islands Chapter pass a Skip the Stuff Ordinance in the Town of Sandwich and across Cape Cod, to reduce plastic pollution, save local restaurants money, and protect our ocean, waves and beaches.
Skip the Stuff seeks to change the expectations of restaurant takeout and delivery food customers. Instead of expecting to receive extra items like utensils and condiments, under Skip the Stuff, customers will expect to not receive those items unless they specifically request them.
This ordinance will save restaurants money, as nationally, restaurants spend about $20 billion per year on such items. It also honors customer choice. Nearly all – 98% – of restaurant takeout and delivery orders are eaten at home or in an office, where reusable utensils are available, and preferred. Every Sandwich resident has a drawer crammed with plastic utensils, chopsticks, and ketchup and mustard packets, which are often included with a meal, even when specifically requested not to be.
Sign our petition to show your support for this common sense ordinance to reduce plastic pollution across Cape Cod.
