What the petition asks
Ban single use plastics and the unnecessary use of plastic packaging in all businesses, supermarkets, retail, or otherwise, the production of and use. The change needs to start now to force changes to sustainable material. This should help save our planet.
We are already seeing abrupt and potentially irreversible environmental change. Animals and their homes are dying. We are running out of room for anymore plastic wastage. It is in our water, air, fish, land and it has to stop. Mexico, Canada and Germany are already taking steps in this direction. We have a responsibility to do this. Stopping single use plastic and all unnecessary plastic packaging could be a win that could have a vast impact on our sustainability.
