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

In my personal opinion this is doing nothing chinas carbon i mission production alone is over 1 billion of those cups in 1 second so it really doesnt matter just let us enjoy our straws without them getting soggy
@9MCCZ3F3 days3D
No, create more biodegradable and clean alternatives and decrease use of products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material
@9MBKZ5G4 days4D
I feel like it really depends on the product, if it's not important for the material to be plastic then I would agree.

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.
