Ban single-use plastic cups at music venues

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

In music venues across the country many cups are being disposed of at the end of the night. This level of waste seems so unnecessary when there are sustainable options available, such as paper cups.
While some venues are using recycled plastic, that doesn't mean they will continue to be recycled. Although some festivals have made the switch, I don't understand why all venues aren't switching to paper cups. We feel the only option is making it obligatory not to use single-use plastic cups.
