English shops to double charge for single-use plastic bags to 10p

thais should be able to construct very strong paper bags as its easy for them to do and export them world wide and make some wedge

This "scheme" has worked very very well in the UK. When I do my weekly at the Tescos, I don't see a single person buying bags, they all take their own. Reusable bags have literally taken over. Must be a good thing?

 

 

They now need to turn their attention to drinks cans and bottles though. The North East is rotting under a pile of those thrown out of car windows.

I remember from before plastic bags were everyone carried a fabric shopping bag.

Why not just stop all retailers providing plastic bags at any cost?
