Rejected petition Ban plastic ring holders around cans & replace with biodegradable alternatives

Plastic rings around beer cans are bad for the environment and for wildlife. Every year thousands of birds and other animals become trapped in them. They are non biodegradable and we call for an immediate ban on them and for them to be replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives.
