What the petition asks
With all of the effort into reducing our single-use plastic, magazine publishers should also be banned from putting ‘free’ plastic toys on the covers of their kids’ magazines.

They are used purely as pester power and are often poorly made, cheap and nasty and break after a couple of uses - they then end up in the bin (landfill).
Let’s stop these big companies and encourage them to include other, non plastic, incentives to choose their magazine over their competitors.
Stop the plastic tat!
