Bagged Plastic

[jazzy_dave]

If the government thinks that the 5p plastic bag levy introduced to England today is the end of the plastic waste environmental problem, then at only 2 % of all plastic that is dumped , there is a long way to go, as much as what we buy from supermarkets or via the internet is awash with different plastics right down to those horrible pellets that make up some packaging.

Time to get out the bags for life , cloth bound or hessian bags that we seem to collect and sometimes forget to use.

It's turned out not to be such a big deal here. You pay the small bit extra or you bring your own. But yes, there is an awful lot of plastic packaging and that tax won't resolve that issue.
