Sample Answer

The law I want to implement is a comprehensive ban on single-use plastics. I propose this new regulation to tackle the pressing issue of plastic pollution and promote environmental protection.

This law will bring about significant changes in how we use and dispose of plastic products. The changes introduced by this law include the prohibition of single-use plastic items such as bags, straws, and cutlery. It will result in a reduction in pollution, especially in oceans and other natural habitats, and encourage the use of sustainable practices like reusable bags and biodegradable materials.

This new law is likely to be popular among environmentally conscious citizens and organizations. I believe it will gain widespread support due to its positive impact on the environment and public health. However, its popularity will depend on community engagement and the government’s efforts to raise awareness about the benefits of reducing plastic waste.

I came up with this idea because I have seen firsthand the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on our natural surroundings. The inspiration for this law came from witnessing polluted beaches and learning about the long-term damage plastic waste causes to marine life. I was motivated by a desire to create a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. The rationale behind this law is to establish a legal framework that enforces regulations to protect our environment and promote societal benefits.
