Yes, but develop alternatives that still function as intended i.e. drink straws that dont degrade during initial use.

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

As a quadriplegic I look at “plastic “. As I am unable to use my hands, plus a paralyzed lower jaw, having single use straws available assists me in drinking beverages.
@9LSWVSD2wks2W
yes, but also increase tax incentives for companies and people who make fully biodegradable and reusable options
@9LBWT4X1mo1MO

@9L7D6G41mo1MO
Yes, alongside fund researches towards efficient recycling and make it mandatory to recycle materials that have been processed rather than using raw materials
