when it's necessary

 @8Z3Q3R6from Saskatchewan  answered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @8YJ82HVfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and add more biodegradable materials that can be used (Hemp, sea grass)

 @8YDHRQJfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3yrs3Y

no it shouldnt be banned but if it became even more harmful to the environment then they should.

 @8WM28DNfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

Do something, just be environmentally friendly

 @8VZ8MYYNew Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

no, many disabled people need single use plastic but the government should incentivize companies to create more sustainable products as well

 @8VW8D9FNew Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but start putting a limit up for how much a person can bye in a span of time

 @8VVKKQLfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

Make recyclable products and reduce the price on recyclable and biodegradable products and raise the cost on disposables that harm the ennvironment.

 @8VCRVJZfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

They should not ban plastic items, instead they should slowly decrease usage

 @8SK5GK9from Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

they could get a greater tax write-off for selling more environmentally friendly products.

 @8HXV5DMfrom Saskatchewan  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, until global warming is cooling down

 @98ZH8KFConservativefrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

no, focus on how to get rid of the extra plastic waste affectively instead of getting rid of plastic entirely

 @982LZ84Communistfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

no because it does nothing to help, these new paper staws and cutlery are packaged in PLASTIC

 @97YHTXBfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but by raising taxes

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
