Don't ban all of the products because they are cheaper and many people can't afford biodegradable products. Make it a choice.
@B2NSGCQ3mos3MO
The more biodegradable an item used to consume food is, the more if it the consumer is eating. Just switch to paper and wood products.
@9JS8GNH1yr1Y
I don't think they should be bannable, but just raise the price of the plastic stuff without biodegradable material, and lower the price of the biodegradable materials, so then people would buy the more biodegradable products due to it being cheaper.
@9JS8F9S1yr1Y
I think you raise the price of the non-biodegradable so people will buy the biodegradable products. But the governtment will support and fund 15% of the companies making the biodegradable products. But then raise taxes 1.3%.
@9FK5WD92yrs2Y
No, force all companies to pay for the recycling of their products' waste
@999XCCQ2yrs2Y
No, but increase more funds to go towards better reycling systems so more plastic will actaully get recycled.
@965D9WN3yrs3Y
everything but straws, paper straws are nasty
@8YW6BTR3yrs3Y
No, But have less frequent use of non biodegradable products outside of the house hold.

Viable biodegradable alternatives should be made available but that is not the ful answer for climate change. There has to be a focus on mandating large polluting countries to reduce their overall emissions.
@8VM6NRB4yrs4Y
In the coming years if more companies give the option for biodegradable cups and such then you can ban plastics but until that point, it does not make sense.
@8RHSLQR4yrs4Y
In some items it should be illegal
@8R6NT3P4yrs4Y
No, they should increase the tax on nonbiodegradable utensils to encourage a greener approach
@8PGB5Z54yrs4Y
Dont ban them completely, reduce the use of them and substitute them for another material
@8K83GSZ4yrs4Y
@8K7JTCQConservative4yrs4Y
I think that they should ban most plastic products but some are more convenient to use and once you are done with them you should recycle them
before banning them, Start creating more composable materials and work up to banning the supplies
@8CB4JGP5yrs5Y
Not banned but to make biodegradable more of a norm yes. This could involve making non-biodegradable legal but taboo (not encouraged) Or supporting futures that want biodegradable everywhere
@98YDF852yrs2Y
Over a prolonged period of time try and cut out materials that are not biodegradable.
