It’s about a new law in France: starting January 1st 2023 you cannot have disposable cutlery, no disposable wrapping or cup etc, if you eat at any restaurants especially fast food (still possible if you take away or order for delivery)

Do all McD's have industrial dish washers on site now? How about the smaller independent shops? I hope those cups are clean...

It was not decided today, so theoretically they had time to adapt. Usually for this kind of stuff, France is like “reminder before fine”, there will be some months with control as reminder before giving real fine. Unfortunately for smaller businesses, they don’t have choices: invest for dishwasher or die. Ecology have a price

Yeah, the price is to pollute the water basins with harsh chemicals, after paying to heat and spray the water, rather than throw a tiny piece of biodegradable, recyclable, recycled and easily-replenished paper away.

Oh you sounds like an angry boy, don’t worry, you will have your happy meal with the toy. And you will be able to throw it angrily it in the thrash can, and it will be easily-replenished, as always. Don’t want to hurt your feelings and your habits, those are very important to us.

Nothing to do with feelings or habits.

Claiming this is ecologically more friendly than a single managed forest is ridiculous.

This is a measure to clear up *city litter*, not help the planet.

What if I told you can save both planet and forest? And if you read my comment you would understand that it’s not about litter, because it’s only for meals eaten IN the restaurant. It will only reduce restaurant garbage, but not the take away, people can remains assholes and litter if they want to.
