Re: Plastic Bags go up to 10p

Don't see the need TBH I haven't seen many people having their goods bagged in ages. Most have their own or buy the dearer option at the checkout as they are better bags. So already paying 10p or more.

Still if it makes them feel they are doing something I guess it'll make them feel better about themselves.

Never use them - always take my own.

I'm sure that placing ten pence on a bag in the UK will solve the world's pollution problems.....And who benefits from from all those ten pences?

How many of the worlds problems do we hope to solve by throwing money at them......Very few I suspect...

They aren't just putting 10p on the bag charge, they are also widening the legislation to smaller shops.

Have we banned plastic beads yet? What about glitter - that still seems to be everywhere and causes all sorts of problems too.
