Rejected petition A complete ban on single use plastic bags in the UK by winter 2020

It is May 2019 and the biggest threat is climate change. We have 30 years to save the earth and unless we take action now we have no chance of survival. I am calling for a UK ban on plastic bags for a paper or biodegradable alternative. Plastic is poluting our planet. We need to change our ways now.
