Tax manufacturers and suppliers distributing Single Use Plastics beyond 2020

Petition Details

Following the success of documentaries such as Blue Planet, it has become clearer the deadly state single use plastics has on our environment. The government should look at taxing the problem at source to encourage companies to research breakthrough in sustainable, biodegradable alternatives.
