Low-waste restaurants
Provide "low waste" dining by awarding restaurants with door or window stickers who use durable tableware for most of their in-house meal service.Promote "low waste" by accessing a fee for disposable dinnerware. As with all sales tax, these costs should be itemized. This can be accomplished with a separate fee or by providing a tax discount for food served with durable tableware. Take-out customers can bring their own durable ware, as is common in the case of coffee mugs. The idea, however, is to discourage in-house "throw-away" containers.Initiate a "don't bus throw-away tableware" campaign, to reduce the diseconomy of "throw-away" tableware.

Great idea but is it too cutting edge for Alexandria?
This has a potential for reducing waste, decreasing energy use and pollution. Its major problem is it is perhaps too "green". It would present Alexandria as too much like a Ketchem or Vashon Island of the East Coast, and I do not think Alexandria is really ready for this.
