This is the right thing to do to safeguard marine life and human lives too.

I applaud @SanDiego for taking this step to protect our environment. Foam waste is a major problem in our oceans and reducing its use can help reduce pollution and protect wildlife. All businesses must eventually comply with the ban and I hope more cities will adopt similar measures in the future.

More cities should join this enforcement.We would not want people to damage their well being by consuming seafood or death of more marine life.
