And there are other externalities: Externalities are hidden or associated costs with a system or material. Plastics are made from oil. Using disposable plastics continues reliance on the fossil fuel industry, contributing to the climate crisis. This also reinforces an industry that impacts habitat degradation and risky oil spills. Consider the emissions generated to ship the oil to process and then ship the plastic products to stores around the world, to end up tossed in the trash or with a very slim chance of recycling after just one use! What is EI Segundo Doing To Help Combat The Single -Use Problem? "Upon Request" Policy for Single -Use Plastic Straws, Stirrers and Utensils The City of EI Segundo and its City Council want to do their part in reducing litter and the use of single -use plastic products which have been found to cause significant environmental harm. On January 21, 2020, City Council adopted an ordinance requiring food and beverage providers in the City follow an "upon request" policy for single -use plastic products. Per this new ordinance, food or beverage providers may not provide single -use plastic straws, utensils or stirrers to a customer, except when the customer requests. The City will begin enforcing the new ordinance on May 20, 2020. The best thing you can do is utilize reusables you already own! We all probably have a reusable water bottle in a cabinet somewhere. For items you don't have, there are great swaps out there to move away from single -use disposable plastic! Like anything new, it will take intention and practice, but this will become an easy habit in no time! v Feeling stuck or need more specific tips? Get in touch with the ES Environmental Committee and we'll be happy to point you towards ideas and solutions! t� �1JJ��J � j � 1] J f] � rj u r 11 ] �J j U] The best thing you can do is utilize reusables you already own!
