HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Should you pay $1 per plastic bag at the store?

Marks and Spencer in England wants to charge customers 5p per plastic bag.The Australian government is thinking about charging between $0.25 and $1 per plastic bag.China has banned ultra-thin bags and free bags will be banned from June this year.I think it is a move in the right direction as people will start to find alternatives.

YOUR TURN!

kalanie says:

dont linger on having to buy grocery bags ppl.instead,buy a dozen tote bags(they are reusable and durable).most likely you wont see THEM tossed on the road side of the road.
think:if this becomes effective, the plastic bag industry will feel the same pinch.
its because of YOU time was wasted even thinking of these "absurd" solutions.the avg consumer is wasteful and selfish.
make it $2 just because you are ignorant

kalanie says:

dont be dumb ppl.use tote bags you already have in your closet for your carrying needs. even homeless ppl have that.

Jon says:

I think people should pay for convince, maybe not $1, but 25c sounds more reasonable.

sunshineday says:

yes why not.It would encourage people to be more environmentally conscious.

No way, Monkeybrain!

jony says:

mr. right says:

no, this is ridiculous. why should we have to pay for plastic bags? this world is getting crazy! i understand trying to save the planet and all, but plastic bags are not going to end this world.

go brown says:

you are all on fucking crack!!! That's all poor people need is another fucking charge for buying food!!! All the "green" shit is already unaffordable.
