        Some of us will be dead before 2042 - I've already taken my own action - don't use plastic bags & Recycle/Re-use what plastic items I have & use Natural materials wherever possible.We need businesses to do the same.We will be up to our necks as China refuses to process it for us.

        Where are plain bags? Where are paper bags? Where does the 5p go to? Supporting recycling or paying for printing the supermarket's name and advertising on the plastic bag? Stop PRODUCING plastic bags would be great but they are a necessary evil by-product of the oil industry

        These answers are blowing in the wind. In the meantime I always take my own bag wherever I go - a string bag can even go into a pocket.

        Wouldn’t it make more sense to switch to biodegradable “plastics” made from hemp? Could be done much sooner than 2042

        Capitalism is destroying the web of life itself. A 5p charge on bags isn't the answer. Changing a system that relies on constant individual production and exchange is.
