Disposable BBQs Under Fire | Manchester News
Description
A growing movement across the UK is calling for a ban on disposable barbecues, citing their role in sparking wildfires and adding to environmental waste. With nearly 4,000 signatures already on the petition, campaigners urge the government to ban sales, promote reusable alternatives, and pressure retailers to shift away from single-use grills. While the petition needs 10,000 signatures for an official government response, reaching 100,000 could trigger a parliamentary debate. This push highlights how everyday choices can impact public safety, wildlife, and climate resilience — and could spark real policy change.
