Yes, only if the government takes full responsibility of climate change and make all major actions necessary at a large scale , then proving it to people and after that is done then they can ban
@9FTZSFM7mos7MO
No, but disposable products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material should be heavily taxed
@9DXFZ848mos8MO
Yes but some disabled people rely on them so in that cause there should be plastic straws allowed for them.
@8ZP8PFF2yrs2Y
No, but charge companies for the landfill cost and provide tax incentives for better alternatives.
@8ZH8YNQ2yrs2Y
not necessarily ban as many people are not able to purchase the more environmentally options. perhaps increasing the price of the harmful material and reducing the price of the more biodegradable product would not only encourage wealthier people to purchase the friendly option, but would also ensure that everyone has access to them.
