Ban the manufacturing of single use plastics and wax(plastic) coated paper cups and containers, replace with reusable wood or stainless steel containers

    Too often, humans order a bit much food from local restaurants and food carts and need a take-home-box. If it was served on washable dishes like they should be, still, disposable containers are used to take it home or on the go. If the health-hazzardous styrafoam(polystyrene) cups and containers aren't being used, there is still a trash problem and unnecessary energy waste in the production of waxed paper, compostables, or recycleable plastic disposables.

    So why not turn trash cans into dish returns?!?! From shipping boxes and meal containers to liquid vats and dispensers, it can all be done with reusables. Imagine a world with only recycling & compost cans!

    This petition tells manufacturers and small businesses to not make or use anything that's disposable(Single-use) containers, wrappers, etc.(with the exception of nature's wrappers *bannana peel picture here* Rather make/sell reusable wood/stainless steel cups and food containers/boxes with, for instance, their weights listed for those foods sold by weight. These conainers with their wood/metal utensils all to be BOUGHT-with the food/drink(OR BROUGHT)... Ultimately leading to a BYOC(BringYourOwnContainers) option so you don't need to buy and reimburse for them everytime you get a product/food that cannot be carried by hand like icecream in cones or samwhiches in bread.

    BYOC is the necessary step to a #wastefreesociety. examples; resealable liquid bottles to be traded for full bottles discounting pre-sealed drinks(otherwise on-tap) My Favorite: having standardized container shapes that every company accepts, alongside Third-party dish return stations for when you didnt BYOC and you want to get the to-go option without needing to carry the containers back or with you till you eat again. Nobody wants to haul around empty containers!
    Role play!:
    Concerned consumer- "But what about when you go to the minimart(gas stations) for some string cheese, chocolate candy bar, or chips and dip?"
    #WasteFreeSociety- "it'll come in big *Reusable, temp-controlled containers, packed-like-sardines from the chefs to be be placed in dougnut-display-like cubbards rather than on shelves(use tongues not those papers) ultimately leading to smaller local businesses to be supported and less travel distance for our... Snacks, it's a win(you)-win(me)-win(land)-win(ocean)-lose(the big corporations) but they win too cuz they're smart...
