Make non-recyclable plastic bags illegal

Petition Details

80% of litter in the sea is plastic.
100,000,000 animals die per year from eating plastic.
Only 1 in 200 plastic bags are being recycled.
So by signing this petition you can help stop animals and the environment from suffering. YOU can make a change!!!

Additional Information

Each hour 1.5 million pounds of litter is being thrown into the sea, so that makes it 14 billion pounds per year.
You contribute 30 kilos of plastic each year, so now you can make the change needed for the future.
