Bring back plastic Straws !!!
@9JTS64Q11mos11MO
The access needs of those with disabilities should also be considered when it comes to replacing such products
@B27BPVD 3 days3D
No, but implement incentives for people to properly return/recycle and improve how we manage and dispose of plastic waste
@B26KWF2 1wk1W
Ban all disposable products what we don't need. Capitalism is evil and makes these products for profit while damaging the environment. Workers should get to control the means of production.
@9ZY33H74wks4W
yes but don't put the price of things up. Perhaps, we turn up to shops with glass jars etc for filling up rather than using the plastic stuff
@9ZJL9ZR 2mos2MO
No, not all biodegradable 'alternative' are suitable, for example all alternatives to plastic bendy straws are in some way worse for some people with disabilities.
@9VTRVL33mos3MO
It depends if the alternative is as suitable at doing the job because paper stares are terrible and if I have to use ten of them to get the job done then I may as well have a plastic one and wooden forks are such a weird taste and texture so as much as environmental protection is important sometimes re usable metal stuff is far better as it can
