Don’t ban the items. Make hemp or other biodegradable products easier to produce and more widely available. Not stupid paper straws. Good products

They should be provided to disabled individuals
@8VLPTSR4yrs4Y
Because there are reservations in Canada that rely on plastic and such for their needs. The government should fix the water issues in most reserves before they ban plastics.

Consumer-end bans make zero sense, manufacturing is where bans need to happen, and corporations must be responsible for whatever they make throughout the life of that product. If something they made ends up in the ocean, that is THEIR responsibility.

Maybe, because sometimes that’s all people can afford
@8QH5MQG4yrs4Y
yes but make exceptions for medical/disability reasons
@8PLFZSXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
no cause certain disabled people need them, but do everything you can to help save the planet
@8P3VD9J4yrs4Y
Some people do require these single use plastics, however the majority of them should be removed
@8JPQ32W4yrs4Y
No, but increase cost of nonbiodegradable material so it is more cost efficient to buy biodegradable.
@8ZJNVP53yrs3Y
if by biodegradable you mean by industrial composting then no as if it get into the environment it would act the same as petrol plastics
@8RSWJHJ4yrs4Y
Yes and ban all disposable products that aren't 100% biodegradable.
No because indigenous populations rely on bottled water and other single use plastics
