Therefore, we intend to advocate for the City Council to direct staff to draft a simpler #SkipTheStuff ordinance that will require all food establishments to distribute single-use plastic straws, utensils and other food accessories upon request only within a 6-month timeline (rather than by July 2023, which is 2 years out).
We are looking for Oceanside residents, businesses, and organizations who would like to add their voice to ours and demand the City Council take this simple step to reduce unnecessary plastic waste on our streets, beaches and in the ocean.
Please SAVE THE DATE for the August 4 Council meeting, share with Oceanside residents and businesses, and direct anyone interested in helping achieve this victory to email RAP@surfridersd.org.
