ABC 7-
San Francisco made one more step in joining cities such as Vancouver, Berkeley and Seattle in banning plastic straws.
Environmental advocates from various groups and non-profits around the Bay Area gathered in front of city hall to make their case for legislation proposed by Supervisor Katy Tang. The measure not only includes the elimination of plastic straws, but many non-recyclable plastic items like coffee stirrers. It also includes language that would make San Francisco the first city in the country to ban fluorinated chemicals in food containers. Because San Francisco uses 1-million plastic straws a day, the issue took center stage.
