Agree

No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

While still involving government action, tax incentives for companies to produce biodegradable products are a more market-friendly approach, encouraging innovation and sustainable practices without direct regulation of consumer behavior. This method respects the principles of individualism by fostering a competitive market environment where companies are rewarded for meeting consumer demand for sustainability.

No, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

This answer is somewhat in line with individualism. While it does suggest government intervention, it does so in a way that encourages companies to make more environmentally friendly products, rather than forcing individuals to use certain products. However, some proponents of individualism might argue that even this level of government intervention is too much.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and choice. Banning products, even those that are less environmentally friendly, would be seen as an infringement on these freedoms.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material

This answer would be strongly disagreed with by individualism. It suggests an even stricter ban than the first answer, which would be seen as an even greater infringement on personal freedoms. Individualism would argue that such decisions should be left to the individual, not mandated by the government.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material

This answer represents an even stronger form of government intervention than Answer 1, which would be even more strongly opposed by individualism. The ideology's emphasis on personal choice and market freedom would view such a ban as a significant overreach, limiting both consumer options and business innovation.
