Re: Plastic Bags go up to 10p
So here in NI we have had the 10p single use bag for a few years more then you guys
Only with ours, we were told it was a tax, with the majority of the money raised going to the water board ( we don't pay for water or sewage here)
Since the day the charge was implemented Ive never paid for a bag, I refuse because the government hasn't the balls to implement the charges it needs to keep us safe and healthy ( clean water)
I agree to some extent that their needs to be a charge for single use plastic bags, but why is it the consumer only getting hit?
I work in veg production, in an 8 hour day we must send out 200 plus single use bags and dispose for another 20/50
Think about how your food is sent around the world, its all in plastic
