- New Jersey restaurant patrons must ask for single-use plastic utensils starting Saturday
New Jersey's 'Skip the Stuff' law takes effect, requiring customers to request single-use plastic utensils from restaurants. The law aims to reduce plastic pollution, joining similar measures in states like California and Washington and cities like New York City. Environmentalists and restaurant industry leaders support the law for its environmental and cost-saving benefits.
