What the petition asks
Ban the use of single-use plastic for good.
While it floats and degrades, the plastic leaches marine-toxic chemicals into the water. The effects of plastic bags and bottle caps on seabirds, turtles, seals, whales and other species is graphically illustrated by their deaths from starvation after mistakenly consuming the plastic or from getting tangled up in it.
Not to mention it's never used again!
