Rejected petition Eliminate the use of single-use plastic in takeaway restaurants.

We are highly concerned with the use of single-use plastics. This is because it uses fossil fuels, is non- biodegradable and pollutes our oceans resulting in the killing of animals and disruption of food chains.

More details

We are increasingly worried about the future of our planet, with plastic contributing to a huge carbon footprint. We want to eliminate the use of unnecessary plastic in takeaways nationally.
