THE BIG QUESTION
Every day we’ll be asking your opinion on one of Britain’s big talking points. You can have your say and vote at mirror.co.uk Coffee drinkers should face a 25p ‘latte levy’ on disposable cups, only 1% of which are currently recycled.
Is a latte levy a good idea?
YES 28% NO 72% No. Ban the cups and ban the use of singleuse plastics. Taxing them doesn’t make them recyclable. STEVE SHAUGHNESSY No. Instead of a tax, make the manufacturers change the way they are made. Tax just goes into government coffers. THOMAS WIBLIN No. Why is the answer to everything always to charge more? If these things are damaging to the environment, ban them. They will soon find safe alternatives. IMAEUROPEAN Yes. It’s about time something like this was introduced to cut the waste for good. DAVE WOODS Yes. Personally I think a 25p ‘latte levy’ is a good idea as long as it’s helping the environment. NAME SUPPLIED No. Who pays these people to come up with this stuff when there are so many other more pressing problems facing humanity right now? DEB TURNER
