What the petition asks
I want to see a safe sustainable future, but man-made products such as plastic are causing enormous damage to the environment. While many products now use recycled plastic a large amount of products contains virgin plastic which uses oil.
By reducing the amount of oil we use we be able to reduce damage to the environment. To help achieve this the Government should ban the manufacture and sale of products using non-recyclable plastic. All companies will need to use recycled plastic in their products. This will help because recycling is helping the environment.
