No, because disposable things such as plastic straws are useful for people with specific allergies, sensory issues, or are disabled
@9F85FGM1yr1Y
No I think the companys making anything with less than 75% of biodegradable plastics should be in charge of cleaning the oceans and trash around their city
@8FS9YLZ4yrs4Y
They should not be banned, but there should be an overwhelming increase of biodegradable options that should be chosen over plastic. The only reason I don't believe that it should be banned would be for people who have disabilities. For example, how the bending of a plastic straw can make it easier for someone with a disability to eat or drink
@9843S4S2yrs2Y
No, not until better alternatives are developed
Yes, and ban all single-use plastic
@9KW6NK59mos9MO
I don’t think they should be banned but there should be incentives to not use so much and recycle more.
@9GQ2L6V1yr1Y
Yes, but phase them out over a set period instead of outright ban them to avoid hardship for low to middle-income Americans. Also increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products and boost incentives for consumers to recycle such products
@9GN5KWP1yr1Y
Yes, but phase them out instead of outright ban them to prevent individual hardship. Also increase tax incentives for companies making biodegradable products and consumer incentives to recycle such products.
