British government to ban single-use plastic utensils
Fox News
The British government has announced plans to ban single-use plastic utensils in England as part of a wide-ranging Environmental Bill that aims to tackle plastic pollution.
One of the provisions aims reduce litter and cut plastic waste by removing the use of single-use plastic forks, knives and spoons – a move that environmental activists say is not enough. "We need the government to go much, much, much further, we are facing a plastics crisis and we need to turn off the tap," said Jo Morely from the campaign group City to Sea. "We are really facing an environmental crisis, our oceans are full of plastic, and they're killing marine life, they are damaging our eco-systems and they are actually threatening human health."More Related News
