Five Hamptons villages are ramping up efforts to get the word out about its “Skip the Stuff” law, after they passed the measure discouraging restaurants from wasting single-use plastic utensils.
The law requires Sag Harbor and East Hampton village restaurants to provide disposable utensils, napkins, straws, and condiment packets only upon request, rather than automatically including them with takeout orders.
“Nobody knows about it,” Mary Ann Eddy, a member of the Sag Harbor Village environmental advisory committee, told trustees during the village’s July 14 meeting.
East Hampton Village, Quogue Village, Sag Harbor Village, Sagaponack Village, and Southampton Village are coordinating a joint “Skip the Stuff” public awareness campaign, developed with the Surfrider Foundation’s Eastern Long Island Chapter working alongside each village board.
East Hampton Village and Sag Harbor Village have adopted binding ordinances; Quogue, Sagaponack, and Southampton have passed resolutions in support.
