Banish The Bags:
How the world shames Britain in dealing with ‘plastic poison’ bags
Britain lags behind the rest of the world in dealing with the ‘plastic poison’ caused by the distribution of billions of single-use carrier bags, says the Daily Mail.
Three billion bags given away annually by retailers, creating long-lived litter and life-threatening traps for wildlife.
Consumers, governments and retailers around the globe have moved to banish the bags, a symbol of urban waste.
France and Ireland have proven that consumers will accept this move.
China’s largest plastic bag maker has closed following a state-led environmental campaign discouraging plastics use.
Opinion:
While a plastic bag is a small article in comparison to the enormity of the Peak Oil & Climate Change challenges facing us… IT IS A START.
The more people accept the problem and start to do small but frequent things to change it, the better chance our children and grandchildren have.
