Yes, except for products that are medically necessary (single-use biohazard equipment, vaccine needle caps, medically sanctioned plastic straws and other tools used by disabled people, etc).
@B4BR4LH2 days2D
No. Increase incentives for companies that make biodegradable products. Create an chain of product placement that forces evasive companies to be penalised regardless of their attempts to dodge taxes and punitive measures.
@B4BPF7T2 days2D
Yes, and provide incentives for those who manufacture products of at least 75% biogradable material.
@B3TRV693wks3W
Yes, properly regulate what is considered biodegradable and encourage practices that use reusable materials rather than one use only where practical.
@B3QJB4K4wks4W
Over population is why the earth is failing , pollution is a result of this . Birth restrictions of 2 per family should be enforced worldwide and failure to report pregnancy should result in immediate removal of reproductive systems.
@B3NF59F4wks4W
Yes but, there needs to be viable and accessible options for disabled people who rely on products like plastic straws and prepackaged food

#1 Informed Plastic Product Ban
Money should be redirected in education and tax incentives should be granted to businesses and organisations promoting borrowing and reusing items over disposable items.
@B39BNKF1mo1MO
Yes but enforce companies to purchase quality biodegradable products rather than chemical treated paper (Bamboo, sugarcane)
