	Description:		The Berkeley City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban all take-out foodware–including containers, straws and utensils–that cannot be composted. The ban, to take effect in January 2020, will also require merchants to charge customers 25 cents for a disposable cup. Starting in July 2020, all dine-in foodware must be reusable. We’ll talk about the new ordinance with its author, Berkeley Councilmember Sophie Hahn.
