No, but there should be a push to make biodegradable and compostable single use plastics cheaper. It would be nice if we can eliminate plastic it just doesn't seem realistic. Biodegradable is better.
@92HBW9C3yrs3Y
limited plastic products should be banned however certain products that are intended for a longer use should stay legal
@92HBGRBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, except people with disabilities who require certain products.
@92HB7CT3yrs3Y
Yes, but there should not be a complete ban because many disabled individuals rely on single-use plastic.
@8YZCNJ43yrs3Y
yes eventually, but slowly and over time so that the shift is more natural
@8YK4JX93yrs3Y
sort of because people aren't taking responsibility
@8VVFCLVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
find something that is cheaper, more sustainable, and accessible for all and slowly transition.
@8TBCTFT4yrs4Y
no but companies should have a limit of the amount of plastic or a non biodegradable material they use
@8STYKTP4yrs4Y
Not until there's a cheap, widespread alternative that is biodegradeable
@8SRSM534yrs4Y
no because we need stuff like those
@8V76GNDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
In addition to increasing consumer incentives to recycle, add business incentives to process recyclable materials, subsidize these incentives and tax companies that produce disposable products that are not biodegradable.
