Closed Require coffee shops to charge more for disposables

Closed on

In a time where climate change and pollution are major issues we face, we still throw away 7 million coffee cups per day.

A change in the law should be made to make coffee shops be required to charge the same price, or greater prices, than eating or drinking in, for disposable cups and wrappers.

A petition like this could encourage people to buy food or drinks in reusable containers, rather than take the cheaper option of buying a throwaway cup.
