17-Year-Old’s Campaign Against Plastic Cutlery Prevents 8.1 Million Single-Use Utensils
Landon Hoberman, a 17-year-old from New Jersey, has made remarkable strides in reducing plastic cutlery usage in restaurants. His campaign has succeeded in keeping over 8 million utensils out of landfills, while restaurants collectively saved more than $200,000 by making cutlery optional for takeaway. This initiative showcases how small changes can lead to significant environmental impact and financial savings, presenting a scalable model for communities seeking to tackle single-use plastics.
