Closed Ban all single use plastic and cutlery as soon as possible

Closed on

Plastic is causing enormous damage to mother earth and single use plastic cutlery is among the highest single use plastic used in UK. Due to the availability of alternative biodegradable plates and spoons and due to the urgent need of saving mother earth, please ban all single use cutley now.

UK government has passed a law to ban plastic straws, earbuds from April 2020. But is not good enough and we need to act quickly as it is a emergency as far as climate change is concerned.

Please bring forward the ban and include all plastic single use cutlery in the ban.
