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).
@B3QJB4K3 days3D
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.
@B3NF59F5 days5D
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.
@B39BNKF2wks2W
Yes but enforce companies to purchase quality biodegradable products rather than chemical treated paper (Bamboo, sugarcane)
@B2JQWS52mos2MO
Yes, but allow medically necessary disposable plastics to remain until there are genuine universal alternatives (e.g. plastic straws)
@B28STLD2mos2MO
Yes, but only if the production of these biodegradable materials doesn't cause more damage to the environment to produce. Ie. If there is more non recyclable waste create making these, there is no point in banning them.
@9ZMNRBG4mos4MO
yes, except in cases where products that do not degrade are needed for scientific and medial purposes
