Default Re: Single use plastic bag ban by govmint

It's rational to think it will make difference similar to the introduction of a 5p fee for bags made in the UK per https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-44661953

Quote:
"An example: the beach clean-ups around the UK have demonstrated the impact of the 5p plastic bag charge.

"Since that charge came in, there's been a 40% reduction in plastic bags found on beaches. And you only know that because lots of people have been collecting data. That helps shore up policy."
