"Gove urged to follow Europe with ban on single-use plastic"

"The restrictions on “single-use” plastic will be launched on Monday by the European commission as part of its plan to ensure that 55% of all plastic is recycled by 2030. About 80-85% of all litter in the oceans is plastic, and half of that is made up of throw-away items such as plastic straws."
This would be some large-scale change and I am very much in favour!
