i think it’s more important to remove all plastic wrap and in general excessive packaging on unnecessary products than worry about cutlery
@B323YJR2mos2MO
Biodegradable is misleading. Compostable and recyclable materials should be encouraged with tax incentives, but phasing out of single use plastic should be done through federal regulation
@9DW82NL2yrs2Y
No, instead create proper recycling that can handle these plastics
@9RCTFJ2New Democratic9mos9MO
No, but regulate the industry to ensure complete lifecycle is taken into account. This is to say, the producer/manufacturer has to deal with disposal.
@9F992B4Libertarian2yrs2Y
The free market will dictate peoples likes or dislikes for plastic products. If people dont want they wont buy
@9F5GFX62yrs2Y
Until a proper replacement that is actually beneficial is invented.
@92864H23yrs3Y
Ban plastics like for non essential items, keep for medical and food industry etc
@8ZTPB2J3yrs3Y
Ban for general consumption, but exempt hospitals, nursing homes and people with special needs who require plastic products
@8X452LT3yrs3Y
It depends on the people, for those who constantly recycle, no.
@8WPTJQX3yrs3Y
they should burn garbege and plastic so it does not end up in the ocean.
it shouldnt be banned but there should be restictions like how much you can buy and how many comes in a pack
@8VLFK96New Democratic4yrs4Y
We should be limiting the disposable products that we use yes, but we should only be banning the products when there is an accessible alternative. Ensure PRIOR to banning a product that people with disabilities will still have access to the same quality using a different product.
@8TYSCT9Conservative4yrs4Y
No, invest in technology which allows for more products to be properly recycled
@8TQM7QG4yrs4Y
Honestly doesn’t effect me
@8SDNZF54yrs4Y
They should use it for burning stuff
@8S6NF2K4yrs4Y
to be honest, i haven't really thought about this in a hot minute. but i guess im going to have to g with yes, it should be ban, as it is really terrible.
@8RK22474yrs4Y
No, impose taxes that reflect externalities
@8QG877X4yrs4Y
No, but increase consumer and tax incentives. If we need more results, then we should resort to banning products containing less than 50% biodegradable products as well.
@8Q55R674yrs4Y
they should gey ride of every thing but plastic straws
@8PYJ4SJConservative4yrs4Y
Should give incentives towards companies who make100% bio products
@8PVL24Q4yrs4Y
Should make them not able to buy
@8PC5V9Z4yrs4Y
I think that some disposable products (ones we use less in our everyday lives) should be banned but not all of them.
@8P994HY4yrs4Y
Can we all just agree that paper straws suck and are not a solution
@9BZDPMH2yrs2Y
Government needs to force companies that provide products to pay the deemed environmental cost of their packaging end to end. The consumer thus determines value forcing more environmentally friendly packaging.
@98FC42H2yrs2Y
If they lower the price of biodegradable items then yes but sometimes they are to expensive to those in poverty.
@93D2GZG3yrs3Y
Ban all disposable products that are under 1%
@8ZJNVP53yrs3Y
if by biodegradable you mean by industrial composting then no as if it get into the environment it would act the same as petrol plastics
@8DPHJL95yrs5Y
it dose not matter because after one use it will be trash and end up in the same place as it dose now
@9HR86B31yr1Y
Absolutely but longevity to avoid constant trash and recycle only mandate to do a return to a processor then to manufactur system for simplicity
