‘Green madness’: WA ban single-use plastic coffee cups
Sky News host Caleb Bond has discussed the latest “green madness” following Western Australia's decision to change its laws on takeaway coffee cups in an environmental crackdown.
Western Australia is set to become the first state to introduce a ban on single-use coffee cups, non-compostable coffee cups.
Businesses that fail to comply with the new rule could face fines of up to $25,000.
Cafes will be able to use all compostable paperboard cups and lids, but customers are being encouraged to bring their own cups.
Mr Bond argued that the new rule will encourage people "to do less" for the environment.
"If you're really worried about the environment - it encourages you to do less because you've got this allusion that your fixing this environment by getting rid of the plastic straw and getting rid of the coffee cup ... meanwhile there are hundreds of other things that are far more destructive to the planet," he said.
