In the events surrounding plastic within politics which have been ongoing as of recent times i have decided to end this petition due to the UK and the EU holding very strong talks on banning single use plastic and introducing schemes into stores and supermarkets. i personally feel all 13,500 of you that signed this petition and some of the worlds most respectful and amazing people that are here today in this very moment, you took your time out of your day to fight the battle to protect the planet from an evil invention and together with other petitions, companies and powerful names we are taking the lead in the battle. I can guarantee one thing to you all, and that one thing is that this is only the beginning, banning plastic straws and ear buds are the first 2 squares of the monopoly board, we are winning and its staying that way thank you!
