What the petition asks
Plastics are lethal to our country, world, wildlife and even us but yet we still insist on using them when other resources are at hand to use. They do not biodegrade.
HEMP
HEMP
This is where the multi useful hemp come in. Hemp Does the same as plastic but biodegrades within 60 days leaving no suffering on our planet
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We could accept a petition calling on Parliament to ban the use of plastic. However, we are not sure whether you would like the Government to encourage the use of hemp in place of plastic, or whether you would like the law to require hemp to be used in certain circumstances. You could start a new petition explaining clear what you would like to happen.
