@9VQS8446mos6MO
Yes, but there need to be solutions for disabled individuals who rely on some single use products first.
@9CM7H5T2yrs2Y
i think they should be reduced but not banned completely
@958BPQ23yrs3Y
Yes, however they should still be available as accessibility tools.
@8VZ832S4yrs4Y
No, I don't think it should be banned but plastic waste should include more biodegradable material
@8VWVRKK4yrs4Y
make biodegradable options more affordable than the plastic ones
@8VR6LWP4yrs4Y
No, focus on the big pollutors where it can actually make a real impact on the environment
@8VDB59Q4yrs4Y
Yes but have replacements
@8V6B7G64yrs4Y
Consumer-end bans make zero sense, manufacturing is where bans need to happen, and corporations must be responsible for whatever they make throughout the life of that product. If something they made ends up in the ocean, that is THEIR responsibility.
@8V59FF44yrs4Y
Yes, but materials should be 100% biodegradable/compostable and ensure people with disabilities who require these products for daily use have proper alternatives or access to what they need.
@8V4DHQNNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Maybe, because sometimes that’s all people can afford
@8TVDS8CNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only keep plastic straws as they are important for people with disabilities.
@8TNS8XK4yrs4Y
They should ban a few items at a time over a period of time instead of banning all non-biodegradable material at once
@8SR7N2VNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I think it is okay to have plastic you can recycle plastic
@8SMP7JM4yrs4Y
have more influence on recycling and reusing.
@8SGT63K4yrs4Y
I think it depends on the person's economic situation. If they are unable to afford long term products, this may be a choice they have to make.
@8S3NTLN4yrs4Y
no just worker co-ops can fix this
@8RTC844New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, but incentivise the use of biodegradable products
@8R8XNJN4yrs4Y
yes, but make these products accessible so that everyone can use them, including disabled people or people with lower income
yes, while bearing in mind that disabled people do need access to a lot of disposable utensils and such, and therefore must be cheap enough that all food and drink services can provide.
@8QQV6LR4yrs4Y
It should be encouraged to be reduced as much as possible, but not banned.
@8PLFZSXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
no cause certain disabled people need them, but do everything you can to help save the planet
@8P3VD9J4yrs4Y
Some people do require these single use plastics, however the majority of them should be removed
yes, except for products that aid people with disabilities (ie plastic straws) but they should be disposed of properly
@8FRRTLX5yrs5Y
There are many who require plastic alternatives at times due to disability
@95HDF453yrs3Y
It would be very hard to do so, yet it is a good idea resulting in a better environment.
@8VPBX7TNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but allow leniency for those who has disabilities that require the use of disposable materials
@8RSWJHJ4yrs4Y
Yes and ban all disposable products that aren't 100% biodegradable.
@93MYGJV3yrs3Y
Further regulaions if disposable products are not at 50% biodegradable, and increase tax incentives for companies that makes products at 85% and up biodegradable.
