Stop use of Plastics+Unrecyclables, in shops; replace with re-usable containers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

By 2060, the world is expected to have begun an irreversible chain that will lead to the extinction of the human species. By cutting down the use of plastic, cardboard and a range of unrecycable things. We reduce, waste, Co2 and toxins that are hard to burn out which spreads all over the globe.

The 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) signals a step-change in ambition for the natural environment in England.
Creating/restoring 500,000 hectares of wildlife-rich habitat in England, as part of a Nature Recovery Network to protect and restore wildlife.
Government supports this in a number of ways. Their manifesto are committed to planting 11 million trees by 2022, and in addition a further 1 million trees in our towns and cities, and they also have a long term aspiration to increase woodland cover from 10% to 12% by 2060. To achieve these goals, in the Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced £10 million for an Urban Trees Challenge Fund and £50 million to help plant new woodlands through the Woodland Carbon Guarantee.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition seems to be calling on shops to take action and not the UK Government or Parliament.
