It is not the faces and colours of the parties that rule us.
It is the companies boasting record breaking profits amid multiple crisis that lobby our government, that rule us.
Poison your food with microplastics, dodge taxes l, shrinking products while making more money than ever.
Alternative materials need to be found/ created that are more suitable. Companies are going to use whatever is cheapest/ easiest to use
Punishing consumers for lack of innovation is not the way forward.
See this is a tax that would get support from people but no gotta think of the poor corporations first…
Meanwhile in other news let’s up the tax on alcohol to screw over the common people
The same way they lobby when the government talks about changes to advertising; limits on added sugar and fats, or on limiting the number of fast food restaurants near schools. Companies are not going to want to lose billions when they know a few hundred thousands in gift to a few dozen MPs will get them what they want.
The rich are the enemy of the people. Always have been and they always will be unless the people realise they have the numbers and the power to stop their greed and cruelty.
I thought we solved this problem with paper straws and lids that don’t come off.
