Introduce nationwide fines for non-recycling and ban plastic food packaging/bags

Petition Details

We propose introducing nationwide fines for non-recycling as a deterrent against irresponsible disposal of plastic waste. We also propose banning all plastic food packaging and bags, to encourage the use of sustainable alternatives, such as paper and cardboard.

Additional Information

The heartbreaking images of animals suffering due to our negligence and the devastating impact of landfills on our oceans are a stark reminder that we are failing not only ourselves but also future generations. It's time for us to say, "Enough is enough."

These seemingly insignificant items contribute significantly to the 300 million tons of plastic waste generated globally every year. This waste ends up in landfills or worse still, in our oceans where it poses a grave threat to marine life.
