No, but disposable products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material should be heavily taxed
@9ZWCFSG4wks4W
yes, but they should find a suitable recyclable alternative which doesn't degrade whilst in use causing more disposable products to be used
@9ZVWV9Z4wks4W
There is too much focus on the individual to solve climate change, when the main contributors are massive corporations. Regulations need to fall on them, rather than the consumer. I'm not opposed to banning plastics, but the main focus should be elsewhere.
@9ZVTW4Q4wks4W
The correct approach is needed for single use plastics they need to be reduced but only once solutions are there to not impact business
@9ZVH6V94wks4W
All unnecessary plastic must be banned, natural biodegradable packaging should be used. Better no packaging at all where possible d
@9ZTPW9X4wks4W
No as it can be an accesbility concern for disabled people, though it should be advised to swap for biodegradable or reuses label items otherwise.
@9ZSMR5G4wks4W
Until affordable options r provided for the consumer i dont think this is the most important issue right now
@9ZR48W91mo1MO
No, the use of recycled plastic is good, we need to get rid of single use plastic, but consumers need to be properly incentivised on using more sustainable alternatives and we need to strive towards more reusable packaging
