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
@B2LKRC31 day1D
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)
@B2K6GK85 days5D
No, but mandate recycling programs be administered or funded by companies that produce such products
@B2H7HTY1wk1W
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.
@B2DQ5HF2wks2W
Yes, but I rather bring my own fork or spoon to restaurants that use these new cardboard kind of products. It irritates my skin.
@B2BF2TZ3wks3W

@B2BBKPD3wks3W
They should either A. Phase them out within a decade or so, or B. Find a way to better decompose plastic
@9WGXHQL3mos3MO
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.
