First they came for the carrier bags……

Why don't we just stop living our lives to capitulate to these eco-warriors.

I always thought, they should just squirt the Ketchup at you through the Drive Thru window.

Ban condom too, then there'll be many more like you

Just start the depopulation alrea... oh yeah corona.

I always wonder how many taco sauce packets are used in total across all stores at TacoBell each hour. The number must be staggeringly huge. I easily use near a dozen each time I go there.

Coffee pods? I had a Tassimo coffee machine. 7g of coffee stored in 7g of plastic that’s discarded after each use. 4cups a day that’s 28g of plastic per day or 10kg of plastic a year per person. I’ve moved to a bean to coffee machine so no more plastic and nicer coffee

They scream that bottles are dirty things to have on the table now that same people want to ban the sachets.😂

The Independent: Why cannot all plastic be incinerated. And why does the Government not invest in these plants that they would convert heat to electricity? Instead of shipping the waste off ?

Hate them anyway

The western world continuing to punish itself while the rest of the world is left unchecked.

Says anyone who's not a selfish imbecile

Cutlery, cups, etc too plz

Of course they should.
