After watching BBC Blue Planet 2, I have carried out a number of UK beach cleans and plastic bags are a major issue.  The threat to marine & bird life because of plastic bags is widely documented and the UK Gov needs to do more to help.","additional_details":"I do not feel that I need to give supporting evidence because the world has never been more engaged on the subject of plastic pollution.  BBC Blue Planet 2 has done a great deal to raise awareness about the issue but I do not feel that our UK Government is doing enough.  I have had a number of deliveries lately in recyclable packing, which begs the question why are we still manufacturing plastic non-recyclable, when we clearly don't need to?","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2018-07-11T15:44:21.757Z","updated_at":"2020-02-26T22:40:26.760Z","rejected_at":"2018-07-17T08:24:58.019Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2018-07-11T17:00:25.057Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/224215"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
