Ban the sale of Large Artificial Plants, Flowers and Grass
The use and sales of artificial plants and grass is utterly unacceptable in 2022 - we need a ban
- Damages and contaminates the structure of the soil
- Manufacturing and delivery contributes to carbon emissions
- Plastic grass can’t or won’t be recycled
- They have no wildlife benefit whatsoever
Think about the environmental impact of allowing the sale of artificial plants and grass. As a country we want to decrease carbon emissions but we are allowing the sale of these items?! I'm asking you to do a report on the impact to the environment and ban the sale of these goods.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you would like the sale of artificial grass, flowers and plants to be banned, but we're not sure whether you want this ban to apply to all artificial plants and flowers, or only those intended to be planted outdoors (where there might be any risk of 'damaging and contaminating the structure of the soil').
