This is starting to sound like the same debate on global warming.
Facts don't matter anymore.
Just be glad though that the ban on certain shopping bags will save some turtles from somewhere or other.
And is plastic the REAL PROBLEM?
As you can see, Australia's contribution is negligible.
So tell me again my friends why you agree with the govmint's ban on single use plastic bags and how it will save the environment, whales and turtles while at the same time spreading diseases to human beings.
