Yes, but target personal and household spending and make sure that these regulations are enforced properly. Otherwise, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products so that people can recycle more often, and increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products.

Yes, but target personal and household spending and should be the result of better enforced regulations. Also, we should incentivize consumers to make it easier for them to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options.

 @8ZSR5NL from GU  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and we should also increase incentives that made it easier for consumers to reuse and recycle old products and use sustainable options.

Not until more environmentally friendly products with more efficient means of production are commonplace.

I feel like plastic kitchenware like plates and utensils should be a majority biodegradable

 @8LC9TY9answered…4yrs4Y

I think they should not band the products but try to decrease the use of plastic

 @8YRGX82 from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material.

 @44RHX2Manswered…4yrs4Y

corporations should have to pay fines for using disposable products that aren't biodegradable

 @4SHZKD6answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and I'm not really sure why Styrofoam is still out there in stores...

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

Can you think of a situation where avoiding plastic products was particularly hard or easy for you?

 @6WHP7WC from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QFNKJY from Mississippi  answered…4yrs4Y

I believe that we should slowly move away from using plastics and materials that harm the environment in an affordable way so that everyone from every financial background can decrease the usage of these damaging products.

 @5643HNNanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and gradually increase the percentage over time to the point of all disposable/single-use products are 100% biodegradable and do degrade within a few years, not decades or centuries

 @8WNZXJ4 from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and encourage more recycling, education on the topic of climate change and how even small wrappers affect things, etc.

How would you reimagine your favorite fast-food meal with eco-friendly packaging?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What's a small change you've made or could make to reduce your reliance on single-use plastics?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

How does the idea of your local community going 'plastic-free' make you feel, and what challenges do you anticipate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What are your thoughts on the trade-offs between convenience and sustainability when it comes to product packaging?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

How do you think future generations will view our current use of plastics?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What is one item you wish had an eco-friendly alternative, and how do you imagine it?

 @8L5FJ3Wanswered…4yrs4Y

No but we should be looking to replace these items like paper and plastic straws.

 @8Q6C4Y4 from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

No, plastic straws are amazing and businesses should have the freedom to choose to be environmentally friendly

 @8LHBBC5 from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

 @4XD28G7answered…4yrs4Y

No, however we should increase consumer incentives to recycle products as well as provide tax incentives to companies that make biodegradable products.

 @8RBQDDP from Vermont  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but we should produce more environmentally friendly material, and reduce manufacturing wasteful products

 @8KW3K6D from Washington  answered…4yrs4Y

I do not think that they should be banned, but I think that production of these items should be less.

 @887SFZP from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 55% of biodegradable material

 @8WCYPDT from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8KLK6MQ from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

 @hbellows23 from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8KXPS96 from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, though I do not think we need to ban them (not completely banned, just very limited and start the percentage lower and increase it gradually), but more importantly increase recycling so that way more people can recycle more often. Also provide tax incentives for companies that make products that contain more than 50% of biodegradable materials to incentive them to make biodegradable products, try to replace most of—if not all—plastic with more biodegradable material and increase consumer incentives to purchase and recycle these products.

 @8X3JRLQ from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

No, disabled people rely on access to single use plastic products and there are currently no better alternative materials for them.

 @8L5BRL2 from Minnesota  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8F7DHVS from Idaho  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but not until there are good alternatives for things like plastic straws, which many disabled people depend on.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

If you had to argue for or against plastic bans in a debate, which side would you choose and why?

 @8NYH3MK from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

Raise the price on products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material as an incentive for people to purchase biodegradable products

 @8T67P4N from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and ease into banning all disposable products that aren't made of at least 75% of biodegradable material

 @6SP6V52 from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

No, increase tax on disposable products and containers and incentivize consumers to return containers to producers for reuse

 @MilesBHuff from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but switch to single-stream recycling so that 100% of trash is processed.

 @75KRFBJ from Nebraska  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, tax more for these products and create incentives for companies to make biodegradable products

 @victoriallockwood from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

No, disposable use items are necessary for many disabled people to meet their needs

 @8CGQG3N from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

No, increase regulations on companies polluting and using fossil fuels instead.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but increase consumer incentives to recycle these products as well as increasing tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

 @8CQ4NFX from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

Somewhat ,I believe that the companies who make the plates , plastic cups , and cutlery ,and even tin cans should be held responsible and should be made to find a better way to help the environment.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products instead

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but increase both consumer incentives to recycle these products and tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products.

 @8D2M9S8 from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

Create better biodegradable products that are just as accessible as other plastic products

 @8D2HND5 from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

Increase tax benefits for sustainable companies and tax plastic production at $15 for every 100 pounds.

 @8DDP7D3 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, ban plastic and provide alternatives that are actually compostable, and make compost mandatory nationwide.

  @8DN4WYN from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

I'm opposed to plastic and this is a consumer education issue. Consumers need to address their buying habits. I would be 100% plastic free if I could find such products. Why would we want the government to mandate that 50 or 25% is a good thing. Typical regulatory nonsense.

 @8DPDF3W from Nevada  answered…4yrs4Y

No, there is no way to force people to stop using plastic but plastic use can be reduced significantly

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and increase consumer incentives to recycle such existing products

 @8FLGY5K from Alabama  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and we should return to manufacturing disposable products made of glass and ceramics.

 @8FLGY5K from Alabama  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and we should return to manufacturing products made of glass and ceramics.

 @8FPLGKD from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but increase producer incentives to create products from a minimum level of biodegradable material.

 @8FSFP6B from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

I feel people should start to recycle those things but if they havent done it their whole life what is going to make them change their minds now. If people are still lazy I think that pretty much anything should be made with biodegradable material.

 @8GMR5G7 from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, though I do not think we need to ban them (not completely banned, just very limited and start the percentage lower and increase it gradually), but more importantly increase recycling so that way more people can recycle more often (also increase taxes on companies that make products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable materials to incentive them to make biodegradable products, try to replace most of—if not all—plastic with more biodegradable material) and increase consumer incentives to recycle these products.

That is really hard to say, I would like to see more biodegradable things but maybe reduce the use of plastic things.

 @8K4YXXJ from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

It depends on weather or not people of a lower class can afford to buy reusable cutlery and how big of a hit the econemy is gonna take

 @8K5ZB6R from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

We should urge companies not to use plastic and get them to start using something more efficient.

 @8KCFMMQ from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8KLLCKT from Oklahoma  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be phased out, we should introduce financial incentives to use biodegradable products.

 @8KPSQ5R from Missouri  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8LSVCGK from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

We should transition from disposable products to biodegradable materials

 @8LZRJND from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

Most definitely not because i use plastic cups everyday. Less dishes to do that way, which in some substances will cause less stress on you, and they're not expensive.

 @8LXXZ8X from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

I dont think we should get rid of them but i do believe they should make the plastic wear reasuable

 @8M4S9XJ from Wyoming  answered…4yrs4Y

no, incited we should make world standers for one use products so we can recycle them better

 @8M93KFX from Kentucky  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, as long as there are feasible, affordable, and appropriate replacements.

 @8MFLBST from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but have it where biodegradable material is banned to make, or stop them from making anymore.
