Ban single use plastic in the UK
Single use plastic has effected how our planet behaves, from causing pollution to melting ice caps. It’s our fault this is happening because we’re using single use plastic. To stop this, we need to ban single use plastic in the UK and find an alternative to it that doesn’t damage our planet.
Most of our plastic ends up in landfills, our oceans and waterways, and the environment. Plastics do not biodegrade. Instead they slowly break down into smaller pieces of plastic called microplastics. Research shows the effects plastic has on the Earth as well as on humans. - from the Nature Path website
