As you all might be aware, plastic bags are not biodegradable, thus they pose a significant risk to the environment. There is so much plastic in our oceans, fish soon won't have enough room to swim and will more plastic that actual food, which will consequently contaminate the entire food chain.
Without serious action, the situation will once get worse. We need the government of Germany to act and issue a permanent and indefinite ban on plastic bags as soon as possible.
We, the undersigned, want to leave this Planet as clean as possible for future generations, it is our legacy and our moral obligation to do so. But the situation is Germany is troubling and this is why:
It has been revealed that some high-ranking politicians are against such a ban. For instance, Ms. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbuauer, who is likely to succeed Angela Merkel as Chancellor, prefers a more voluntary approach and has spoken against the idea of a ban - she claims she will let businesses decide how to reduce the amount of plastic on their own.
Please support my campaign and speak up for a plastic bag ban in Germany, thank you!
