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
@968Q7CS2yrs2Y
No, and bring back plastic straws

The more biodegradable an item used to consume food is, the more if it the consumer is eating. Just switch to paper and wood products.
@B2NPXZP5 days5D
Yes, and plastic packaging should also be banned. Incentives for consumers and companies should exist for biodegradable and recyclable products.
@B2LKRC37 days7D
Yes, as long as there is a proper replacement available before implementing the ban (straws were banned before a proper alternative has been created, paper straws are useless)
@B2K6GK82wks2W
No, but mandate recycling programs be administered or funded by companies that produce such products
@B2H7HTY2wks2W
Any ban on disposable products need to pass some sort of consult and approval process with the medical & disability communities, to ensure that the ban won't harm their needs.
@B2DQ5HF3wks3W
Yes, but I rather bring my own fork or spoon to restaurants that use these new cardboard kind of products. It irritates my skin.
