No, but add more heavy taxes on companies who don't have disposable products 50% or more biodegradable material
@9X4YB8MConservative5mos5MO
Yes. And increase tax and production incentives for companies. Help them with new concepts to ensure business survive while still have positive environmental impact.
@9MCJ3PYConservative11mos11MO
In my personal opinion this is doing nothing chinas carbon i mission production alone is over 1 billion of those cups in 1 second so it really doesnt matter just let us enjoy our straws without them getting soggy
@9FBQ4CJConservative2yrs2Y
no unless a better option exists that makes everyone happy
@9DVQVQMConservative2yrs2Y
There are bigger issues in canada inflation crime housing
@94CD53DConservative3yrs3Y
Give companies their own choice
@9388XWJ3yrs3Y
let the provimces decide
@92SBLVXConservative3yrs3Y
90 percent of all plastics in the Pacific Ocean comes from Asian river sources so they need to make changes first then we should follow
@8YXLQB2Conservative3yrs3Y
No, some people are very low income and need or can’t buy the real deal. But increase the incentive to recycle.
@8WJ84QYConservative3yrs3Y
Keep The Plastic Straws, but no more plastic containers, use styrofoam instead
@8VTFF3G4yrs4Y
No, because it would be hard to enforce if people already have them in their homes
@8VRSDVRConservative4yrs4Y
I think they should ban the but have viable solutions
@8VM6NRB4yrs4Y
In the coming years if more companies give the option for biodegradable cups and such then you can ban plastics but until that point, it does not make sense.
@8VH9LRVConservative4yrs4Y
The ban cannot occur right away because the population needs the time to transition from one to another. The ban should occur one the population switches and more than 75% of people use non-polluting options
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should slowly be phased out over a period of time
@8V9TGW84yrs4Y
No, but create better recycling programs and recycling incentives
@8V8K98QConservative4yrs4Y
We should have better facilities to accept materials to be able to recycle them
@8V6FCJJConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but give businesses time to source supply and manufacturers time to scale up.
@8V55TJW4yrs4Y
Not completely eliminate but reduce
@8TZBHDNConservative4yrs4Y
Invest in biodegradable alternatives.
@8TYSCT9Conservative4yrs4Y
No, invest in technology which allows for more products to be properly recycled
@8TWHGQP4yrs4Y
Make sure disposable items like mentioned be biodegradable to prevent any more pollution
@8TLQ3SX4yrs4Y
I think that we are fine just as long as we pick up after our selfs
@8TBCTFT4yrs4Y
no but companies should have a limit of the amount of plastic or a non biodegradable material they use
@8SVCSHXConservative4yrs4Y
They should limit the use of fishing nets which are a much more significant contributing factor
@8R79QSJConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but if people can't afford the products that are more biodegradable hen the less ones should be readily available
@8R6NT3P4yrs4Y
No, they should increase the tax on nonbiodegradable utensils to encourage a greener approach
@8QTXHQ3Conservative4yrs4Y
No, It depends on the product
@8QRNKHZConservative4yrs4Y
Sure why not, make the world a little bit better of a place
@8PYJ4SJConservative4yrs4Y
Should give incentives towards companies who make100% bio products
@8PGYWLXConservative4yrs4Y
No, but create a tax for companies that make those products
@8K7JTCQConservative4yrs4Y
I think that they should ban most plastic products but some are more convenient to use and once you are done with them you should recycle them
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
benefit those who have those products and punish those who dont but dont completely ban them
@8JHMC4KConservative4yrs4Y
no but tax and make cost go up to decrease buy rates
@8J4HP424yrs4Y
this could go to was, yes because of plastic but it does decompose after 15 yrs
@8FMNRVR5yrs5Y
@8FDTQFHConservative5yrs5Y
Not really because if we go paper then we will have to close the oil plants
@9CLLRNS2yrs2Y
No, but some percentage of profits made from these disposable products should go towards the research of more harmful environmental issues.
@98ZH8KFConservative2yrs2Y
no, focus on how to get rid of the extra plastic waste affectively instead of getting rid of plastic entirely
@98S2ZRBConservative2yrs2Y
If there is a material that acts as an alternative material that can replace plastic in a safer manner, that should be used instead. But if that's not able to be done, lower the percentage of plastic material and mix it with a different material that is safe.
@986BZ752yrs2Y
yes and find other alternatives that are actually functional and create a better recycling system
@982YYJN2yrs2Y
Somewhat but there are other countries that use wayyy more plastic disposable materials than Canada
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, and increase comer incentives to recycle products instead, and increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products, while also protecting smaller businesses, and punish larger corporations. Ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% biodegradable material
@97LHV5DConservative2yrs2Y
Increase tax incentives for companies that make plastic cups, plates, and cutlery.
@96SDF6YConservative2yrs2Y
keep plastic bags and straws
@95JN9MBConservative3yrs3Y
No, ban all paper straws
@8TLX9GCConservative4yrs4Y
Yes I agree to getting rid of some of it but not all of it .
@8T2S3Y9Conservative4yrs4Y
No, I like normal straws
@8PJDYXKConservative4yrs4Y
No, they shouldn't be banned but it should definitely be used less in our lives
@8JVVJFV4yrs4Y
Don’t ban it but at least suggest it
@8HJL9ZN4yrs4Y
no but proper lectures to insure that they are using plastic wisely
@8KRDCF34yrs4Y
Yes, but not while Covid-19 is still is full swing
