@B4F8RDG2wks2W
yes, but the only exception is if a person has a allergic reaction to any of the new cups or culturally
@9JVVDNV1yr1Y
Yes, but nationalize the industries that create disposable products so that there can be more control over what is or isn't created, and how much of it. Currently companies are only seeking what is profitable to them and they won't follow any regulations if they do no see a potential way to create more profit.
I believe that they should start using more biodegradable or Eco-friendly materiels over the next several years
@9ZY58J64mos4MO
This question sucks, these plastic cups and stuff are useful, only real problem is we don't dispose of them correctly, most of these utensils/cutlery can be reused for making other objects that could help
@9MFQG5811mos11MO
No because look at how much plastic we use in an every day life such as vehicles,computer's, phones, desks, shoes, etc.
@9FKML6F2yrs2Y
The amount of biodegradable material should be based around the structural integrity of the product based on its function
@9B5QPTL2yrs2Y
No, because I hate paper straws
@8Z3Q3R63yrs3Y
Yes and no. Because if you recycle these plastics then why would you ban it. But if people continue to cause pollution then they should do what is best for the planet.
@8YJ82HV3yrs3Y
Yes, and add more biodegradable materials that can be used (Hemp, sea grass)
@8YDHRQJ3yrs3Y
no it shouldnt be banned but if it became even more harmful to the environment then they should.
@8Y3QR3B3yrs3Y
Yes, ban all disposable products that aren't 100% biodegradable
@8WM28DN4yrs4Y
Do something, just be environmentally friendly
@8VZ8MYYNew Democratic4yrs4Y
no, many disabled people need single use plastic but the government should incentivize companies to create more sustainable products as well
@8VW8D9FNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, but start putting a limit up for how much a person can bye in a span of time
@8VQ4TTF4yrs4Y
Yes but not to the point of banning them for the convenience of others, but to the point of it being biodegradable for the environment.
just require fast food places to
@8VCS27H4yrs4Y
Make recyclable products and reduce the price on recyclable and biodegradable products and raise the cost on disposables that harm the ennvironment.
@8VCRVJZ4yrs4Y
They should not ban plastic items, instead they should slowly decrease usage
@8TZ3WR84yrs4Y
All plastics can be recycled. Start a programs based off of weight that incentivizes the public to recycle all plastics in a way that is profitable to all!
@8SMP7JM4yrs4Y
have more influence on recycling and reusing.
@8SK5GK94yrs4Y
they could get a greater tax write-off for selling more environmentally friendly products.
@8RPHTG54yrs4Y
no, but we should limit their production and lower it over time until it is completely gone.
@8R22C5T4yrs4Y
should be slowly phased out
@8HXV5DM5yrs5Y
Yes, until global warming is cooling down
@9B5Q99M2yrs2Y
I don't think they should be banned yet because there are not enough environmentally friendly options yet.
@9B27DMG2yrs2Y
they should be cut up and then recycled.
@99WWH8F2yrs2Y
Yes, but not in hospitals or other industries that need them.
Yes, but an exception for a disabled people who requires it for disability needs and hospitals.
@98ZH8KFConservative2yrs2Y
no, focus on how to get rid of the extra plastic waste affectively instead of getting rid of plastic entirely
@98S2ZRBConservative2yrs2Y
If there is a material that acts as an alternative material that can replace plastic in a safer manner, that should be used instead. But if that's not able to be done, lower the percentage of plastic material and mix it with a different material that is safe.
no because it does nothing to help, these new paper staws and cutlery are packaged in PLASTIC
@97YWQ4Z2yrs2Y
More research should be done on what else to make products with
@97YHTXB2yrs2Y
Yes but by raising taxes
@97VV7LK2yrs2Y
no but we should cut down half of the indistries.
@97DHLRH2yrs2Y
yes, unless it is something that you cant get in another material
@95ZXJVJ3yrs3Y
No but incentivize cost effectiveness of high quality continual use products.
@8T2S3Y9Conservative4yrs4Y
No, I like normal straws
@8GC264J5yrs5Y
