Green To Go Ordinance - Resident Survey 10 We need to reduce waste and/or offer environmentally friendly options. This includes allowing 6/4/2024 5:43 PM customers to bring their own containers. Restaurants should also offer smaller menu options. 11 Every little thing we do to help improve our planet and our climate matters 5/23/2024 8:49 PM 12 Our climate change actions are imperative. 5/23/2024 10:36 AM 13 1 strongly support this effort. 5/23/2024 9:17 AM 14 We need to reduce waste going to landfills or incinerators. This is one step along the path 5/13/2024 2:17 PM 15 1 have not seen much change relying upon the private sector. We buy most take-out in St. 5/9/2024 3:43 PM Paul because they are required to have compostable carry out containers at their restaurants. 16 The additional expense would be minor, and immaterial to most patrons. 5/3/2024 2:49 PM 17 Garbage in general doesn't make financial or environmental sense. We need to move to a 4/29/2024 2:48 PM closed -loop system and getting restaurants on board by mandating the use of recyclable, compostable, and ideally reusable materials is one important step in getting us there. 18 Again, I would want to know if these compostable containers are actually being composted? It 4/26/2024 1:55 PM is no good if they just end up in a landfill. 19 Restaurants need to do this to help protect the environment and Roseville has so many 4/25/2024 1:12 PM restaurants. Many haven't made the effort to adopt the policy on their own so it makes sense to require it of them. 20 Restaurants should be doing this on their own as I feel they would get more customers by 4/25/2024 9:41 AM demonstrating that they care for the environment. 21 Only way to get it done. Some restaurants will use recyclable if asked but most don't. We 4/13/2024 12:11 PM always bring our own containers if dining out and expect leftovers. 22 Ban all single use plastics. They last forever and are polluting our environment —contaminating 4/6/2024 9:04 AM our soil and water and making their way into our bodies. There are many more eco-friendly alternatives. 23 Our planet is choking on plastic 4/3120241:52 PM 24 1 support all initiatives to reduce use of single usetnon recyclable containers to lessen what we 3/31/2024 7:24 PM put in the landfill. 25 It seems like the right thing to do for the environment. 3/31/2024 8:18 AM 26 We are human and without an ordinance it wont happen. Yes, businesses need to make 3/29/2024 12:50 PM money but if we damage the environment a whole lot more, it won't matter - - no one's business or customers will be worrying about it. There will be bigger things on their plates. 27 No way in hell. Or maybe I really dont care, as I would just shift my purchasing north into 3/29/2024 1:17 AM Shoreview and Arden Hills. Is this city government serious that they would pass a lawthat would only be enforced if someone complained? What kind of weenie would be complaining about someone using the wrong takeout container? Probably some elected official with nothing better to do with their time. 28 Too much waste as it is - find ways to reduce and recycle. 3/28/2024 8:08 AM 29 1 believe it puts an extra burden on restaurants at a time when they are already struggling with 3/27/2024 8:10 AM high food costs, implementing the sick time leave law, and worker retention. Many restaurants are already making efforts toward sustainability, and it should continue to be up to individual businesses if that is something they want to do. 30 We need to take action to reduce plastic demand and use. We cant afford to allow single use 3/22/2024 7:48 AM plastics at the levels we have been. 31 The low cost of some container materials (polystyrene - #6 plastic) favors the use of a non- 3/19/2024 10:28 AM recyclable product that produces a toxic gas when combusted. Non-recyable containers and other trash from Roseville likely gets burned by Xcel to generate electricity. 32 Concern about waste, permanence of styrofoam, and general climate issues. 3/17/2024 11:41 PM 33 Depends on the details; I'd much rather this be a partnership between business and the City vs 3/17/2024 10:37 AM 8 / 14 Page 77 of 97
