Yes, but develop alternatives that still function as intended i.e. drink straws that dont degrade during initial use.
@8KQL6XN4yrs4Y
I agree to ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material but also fix our recycling programs and GET HONEST about what Canada REALLY IS RECYCLING!! Programs for residential sorting at the curbside, THEN fines to loose individuals who don't sort properly

No, but regulate the industry to ensure complete lifecycle is taken into account. This is to say, the producer/manufacturer has to deal with disposal.

Incentivize production and use of actual recyclable and 100% safe biodegradable (no micro plastic) materials; ban styrofoam.
@9RBSBZQ5 days5D
No, but start transitioning away from them and then when we no longer need to be dependant on them we can ban them.
@9RBMZ725 days5D
Punish those who actually contribute significant amount of greenhouse gases ie big corp and oil in addition to making things more biodegradable.
