What the petition asks
Billions of single-use plastic drinks bottles are sold each year in the UK. Too many of these end up on our beaches and in our oceans, where they harm marine and bird life life. This can be avoided by using less damaging alternatives such as aluminium cans, cardboard cartons and glass.
