We're seeing a few examples here - but Canuckistan has *always* been
more progressive than the Hew Hess Hay.

AFAIK all our fats food napkins are made from absorbent paper - just
like paper towels or bum wipe.

Hardee's have been doing this for years (sort of) you buy one of their
stoneware coffee mugs for a U$1 upcharge over the regular price for a
cuppa .... and get free refills (in that mug) as long as you have and
bring it with.

Very few of our fats food joints use plastic sacks for take-out. Nearly
all standard paper bage. Net necessarily recycled paper but, still, they
are biodegradable and compostable. Not that many do a compost barrel or
pile. But it's something.

As I said above - you lot have always been more progressive. Our business
worship at the altar of Mammon.
