No, but greatly increase taxes on non biodegradable disposable products.
@92VBCWV3yrs3Y
Ease into it without suddenly making rules.
@8Y3NCLY3yrs3Y
This is a waste of time and money and just their to make liberals feel better
@8XZYC7Y3yrs3Y
No this is just moral balancing used to make liberals feel better
@8WX5LR83yrs3Y
Not banned but less of them.
@8VXSW7Y4yrs4Y
No, but biodegradable options should be more available at an affordable price, in addition to an incentive for companies that produce biodegradable materials.
@8VRSK454yrs4Y
Instead add a deposit on every plastic bottle (including water bottles), encouraging people to recycle or take those bottles to a recycling depot. As well, bottle pickers (usually homeless who go through people’s recycling) could earn a living from those who toss stuff they shouldn’t
@8VDB59Q4yrs4Y
Yes but have replacements
@8V55TJW4yrs4Y
Not completely eliminate but reduce
@8TNJDVL4yrs4Y
Yes, but at a certain extent
@8T8MZSM4yrs4Y
We should limit the amount of non-biodegradable materials we integrate into society, however, we still must be mindful of individuals with developmental disabilities who require non-biodegradable material (example: the use of straws are essential for people with different disabilities such as Parkinson's).
@8QTX6YR4yrs4Y
I don’t think they should be banned, but I think that manufacturing these products should be reduced to a ‘cap’ per year.
@8PCKGHX4yrs4Y
I think that disposable plastic materials should still be made, but priced higher so that people are more wary and considerate of the materials they use. the access money made could be used to fund the marking of more biodegradable products.
@95HDF453yrs3Y
It would be very hard to do so, yet it is a good idea resulting in a better environment.
