Typical career politician coming up with half baked idea. Surprise? 😆
It’s very simple really.
1. Ban all free plastic bag especially those from supermarkets.
What is 5p or 10p if it means convenient for the shoppers? What can you buy with that? How many sweets can you buy with 10p?
Charging is not a solution.
2. Replace them with paper bags that is environmental friendly. That’s another controversy but at least it’s recyclable. Just don’t cut down the rainforest for it but I bet it will … can always use bamboo made paper bags. Bamboo grows quickly and it is grass which is good and Panda loves them.
3. Let people decide how they want to carry their food from supermarket. Tough shite if you are inconvenient … eat less buy less and carry less.

p/s: my shopping bag is Ortlieb messenger bag I bought from a STW member that will last me a life time 😆
