Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

In 2016, France became the first country to ban the sale of plastic disposable products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material and in 2017, India passed a law banning all plastic disposable plastic products.

All single use paper, plastic products should be phased out through regulations and replaced by general reusable returnable utensils and dishes.

No leave my plastic straw alone, they should be focused on the bigger problem like CO2 pollution and big businesses.

Ukraine Unveils Secret Arsenal to Force Russia's Hand

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unveiled his much anticipated "Victory Plan" at Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday, urging his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of its key U.S. ally's Nov. 5 presidential election.As Russian troops advance in the east and a bleak winter of power shortages looms, he told lawmakers his plan contained five main points that relied on Kyiv's allies, including an unconditional invite to join NATO and specific weapons support."Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace," he told lawmakers and top officials.His third point emphasised the need for Ukraine to acquire a non-nuclear deterrence capacity that he said would be enough to destroy Russian military power. He did not elaborate, but said there was an additional secret addendum that he could not disclose.The plan, he said, also envisaged a Western role defending Ukraine's natural mineral resources from Russian attacks as well as post-war reconstruction pledges.The speech was attended by his top military, intelligence and political brass as well as lawmakers, some of whom occasionally stood up to applaud.Ukraine faces both difficulties and uncertainty ahead of the U.S. election that could return Donald Trump to the White House.The Republican former president has pledged to rapidly end the war before entering office if he wins, an idea that Kyiv's supporters fear would involve big concessions in the name of a quick deal.Zelenskiy met U.S. President Joe Biden, his key ally, in Washington at the end of the September to present the plan. In a subsequent whirlwind tour of Europe, he met the leaders of Britain, France, Italy and Germany to discuss it.Zelenskiy said he would travel to summit of European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday to present his plan.
