UK proposes plastic straw ban
21st April 2018
A brief FT clip here looking at the proposal to ban plastic straws, drink stirrers and cotton buds, as part of a wider commitment to outlawing avoidable plastic waste by 2042. Quite how that is going to be measured, I don't know, but the FT puts the measure in the context of other such moves, such as the plastic bag tax.
