Make take away shops use bio-degradable containers for serving food near beaches

Petition Details

I used to work on Brighton beach as a lifeguard. At high tide there would be a line of rubbish, much of it plastic, marking the high tide. As the tide began making its way back out there would be a thick line of rubbish left along the beach... what about the rubbish that was carried out to sea?!!

Additional Information

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - The worlds largest plastic rubbish dump.

Banning plastic from the beaches will not cure the problem but we have to start somewhere.
