San Franciscans use an estimated 300 million disposable cups each year. That’s a lot of waste. What's more, two-thirds of the litter that ends up in our Bay is from stuff that we only use once, like straws, cups and other food packaging.* Let’s change that by refusing the things we don’t need and reusing the things we do.
Next time you’re out, be sure to:
-
Carry a reusable shopping bag
-
Bring a reusable travel mug or water bottle
-
Refuse plastic utensils and straws (if you can)
