Gloves?
Saran wrap?
Hotel/travel shampoo samples?

Can’t wait until they cast their malevolent gaze upon single-use medical supplies.

Won’t that be fun!

Can’t carry a knife in Britain so I guess restaurants will have to serve food in bite size pieces. g

“..Yup and they just made it illegal to insult islam-...”

They are pandering to the hoards they let in. They dug their hole and this is how they deal with it.

They're reusable. All you have to do is look in the Redneck Party Planning Guide for ideas.

> Why can't the European Union let individual countries decide whether to ban straws? (I oppose a ban.) It looks like the only freedom the Left supports is buggery.

And they will eventually get around to making that mandatory ...

When the laws against smoking were first begun to be propose (at the time it would be voluntary and just have two separate areas) I predicted it was just the beginning. If they could go up against a major player like the tobacco industry and win there is nothing government can not (and in time) would not be able to control.

They always dress it up in something that sounds nice like for the environment but reality is is about power. They have the power and they will bend you to their will.

Next thing they will ban is single use medical devices like syringes and catheters.

These leftist nuts are against every advance the world has made. They want to make energy so expensive that everyone but the masters on top live in caves and eat tree bark. I am just waiting for them mandate blood sacrifices to feed the Sun god so it can rise again tomorrow morning.

So under ten million Swedes will comply, yet over a billion Chinese, and over a billion Indians, won’t bother.

A lot of non-biodegradable trash, is a benefit of westernization, prosperity, etc.

As technical matter, biodegradable plastic-like materials could be used.

I have no idea, what they cost.
