Rejected petition Make MARS change CELEBRATION wrapping from foil to biodegradable wrapping

Globally, we put between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastic into the ocean each year and this is only aided by big label brands like Mars. Individual wrappers on each piece of confectionery cause tonnes of waste in the UK alone especially around Christmas time. Make this stop. Clean our planet.
