Petition Make take away shops use bio-degradable containers for serving food near beaches

I used to work on Brighton beach as a lifeguard. At high tide there would be a line of rubbish, much of it plastic, marking the high tide. As the tide began making its way back out there would be a thick line of rubbish left along the beach... what about the rubbish that was carried out to sea?!!

Banning plastic from the beaches will not cure the problem but we have to start somewhere.
