No spork for you!
Over 90 percent of the plastic in the oceans comes from ten rivers in Africa and Asia. But the EU decides to ban something that is basically a non-problem. Typical libs.
Plastic pens banned?
Accountable to no one!
How many times will they have to use their Garbage bags ?
Reminder: Don’t go to any doctors there.
Imagine the sleeves on ear/mouth/rectal thermometers.

The majority of ocean plastics comes from only a few rivers in Asia and Africa. Just stop exporting plastic to those countries.
Electric kettles, hair dryers, vacuums. Nobody said a peep. Link tax, meme ban, nary a wimper.
The EU can continue on its road to Hades with my blessing.
How about stop dumping garbage in the ocean?
Look at all the plastic in that room.
The original McDonald’s coffee stirrers would have passed muster.
That’s all well and good I guess but the vast majority of the plastic ocean pollution is from Asia where they use their rivers as the dump and throw everything in it where it ends up in the ocean.
Unless the UK currently puts their plastic in the ocean; this will do nothing to lessen plastic ocean pollution.
Bunch of idiots. The ball point pen I’m using is single use. The cup for coffee is single use. The fan on my desk is single use. Get it? They meant well, but are showing their stupidity.
The problem is that the plastic things are released into the environment. I see plastic bags blowing around. The problem is people, not the bags.
Stupid people of Europe. They and North America do a fantastic job at garbage pickup and recycling and ARE not anywhere near a major source of plastic in the oceans.
90% of the plastic junk in the oceans comes out of ten river systems around the world;
Eight of them are in Asia: the Yangtze; Indus; Yellow; Hai He; Ganges; Pearl; Amur; Mekong; and two in Africa – the Nile and the Niger.
And what will Europe’s ban on certain plastic items do to stem the tide of plastic in the ocean from the largest (90%) sources of it? Zip, zilch, nada.
