Rejected petition Introduce a plastic tax for all single use non recyclable plastic use

Single use non recyclable plastic is a huge problem and danger to our world. We should not be using it. Therefore I suggest a plastic tax, just like the sugar tax. Where the funds raised will be used to fund recycling centres and research into plastic alternatives.
