Oh yes, it’s the french election that still sells water in plastic fucking bottles
You are making some hahaha, rofl joke and all. But it's a matter of influence power. France has a decisive input in climate policy. New laws and regulations locally can compel neighborss, they can wager at the european level to make united move toward more ecological stances (like the current ban on new petrol car being sold after 2035). Europe is such a wide market that regulation applying there can shift entire industries
Macron actually did some good work on reducing single use plastic using a presedential decree. That would very likely be reversed under RN.
Yeah banning water bottles will save us
Not banning them doesn’t help and I don’t see too much action orherwise.
