No, but disposable products containing less than 50% of biodegradable material should be heavily taxed
@B3KK8QV2wks2W
No, but create incentives for the consumers to recycle and tax incentives for companies who make biodegradable products. Establish a cap and trade program
@B2R487D1mo1MO
No, this is way over the top. Let people use what they want. Use common sense and don’t burn plastic, that’s the way I would think of climate change. We burn too much plastic. Ban that.
@9ZWCFSG4mos4MO
yes, but they should find a suitable recyclable alternative which doesn't degrade whilst in use causing more disposable products to be used
@9ZVWV9Z4mos4MO
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.
@9ZVTW4Q4mos4MO
The correct approach is needed for single use plastics they need to be reduced but only once solutions are there to not impact business
@9ZVH6V94mos4MO
All unnecessary plastic must be banned, natural biodegradable packaging should be used. Better no packaging at all where possible d
@9ZTPW9X4mos4MO
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.
