Ban plastic cups, plates, cutlery unless made of biologically-sourced materials.
Sarah Wilson's easy to understand document (ref below) describes this plastics problem and offers alternatives. Carry a reusable 'spork' in your bag (fork/spoon).
By 2020 France will have banned these items.
The high street coffee stores must be more conscious and responsible with cup choices.
