07 Sep 2018 --- Birmingham, UK, councilors will decide on September 11 whether to ban disposable plastic coffee cups, drinking straws and other single use plastics. A nine-point plan to make Birmingham the first single-use plastic free city in the UK was brought forward by the opposition Liberal Democrat Party. The plan recommends initially targeting council-run canteens, cafes and events before moving on to private business and other organizations at a later date.
