No, because it what most likely increase tax paying dollars and the people should have a say where there taxes go
@9FL2QBB1yr1Y
Not banned but highly taxed
@96FXKYG2yrs2Y
No, but producers should be forced to take care about the waste properly.
@95S4J5J2yrs2Y
As single use plastic in sanitary wrappings is helpful and life saving for some disabled people, we should provide options.
@8W2Z33B3yrs3Y
Yes, but keep plastic straws
@8VL52JJ3yrs3Y
This is a false leading question for those persons who understand that many or most products that are "Biodegradable" are breaking down in to daughter products that are just as bad for the environment if not worse. They, like cellulose microplastics are only less visible. The overall mass of disposable products needs to be drastically reduced (>50%) regardless of degradability. Needless disposability for convenience sake needs to be banned.
@8VD74G43yrs3Y
Yes but keep them available for disabled people who need them
@8VD3BV93yrs3Y
No, it would not biodegrade if it is not 100% biodegradable
