Slightly agree

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

Ford might support this measure as it encourages businesses to produce more environmentally friendly products without outright banning certain products. However, it still involves some level of government intervention in the economy, which Ford generally opposed.

Strongly disagree

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

This answer is even more regulatory than the first, and Ford would likely disagree even more strongly. He believed in the power of the free market and was generally against government intervention in the economy.
