We are back to carrier bags again. The BBC carries a story that supermarkets hope that carrier bag use will halve by next Easter.
Again, the reporter trots out the line that "the bags... take about 1,000 years to decay". How does he know?
Also, he reports that "UK retailers hand out an estimated 13 billion free plastic bags every year." No, they don't. The cost of the bag is built into the price you pay for the goods you buy in the shop. If we are getting fewer bags, the cost of the goods should come down. Will it? What do you think?
