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
@9TV5VL53mos3MO
yes, and encourage companies to switch to more sustainable products instead of disposable products through incentives
@9ZY58J62wks2W
This question sucks, these plastic cups and stuff are useful, only real problem is we don't dispose of them correctly, most of these utensils/cutlery can be reused for making other objects that could help
@9ZWH3RB2wks2W
No, but increase the research and development of new products that could compete and replace the existing products with the same quality
@9XZMN2Y1mo1MO
Yes, we should replace things where we can and give tax breaks to companies that make biodegradable products
@9X4YB8M2mos2MO
Yes. And increase tax and production incentives for companies. Help them with new concepts to ensure business survive while still have positive environmental impact.
@9WPPMKF2mos2MO
No, we can regulate the use of these products to ensure they don't get wasted, but banning them hurts the rest of society.
@9WGXHQL2mos2MO
No, now I really know some people are allergic to other stuff but they can only use plastic stuff the government should not ban them.
