I'm so glad that supermarkets in the UK are doing this now and it has already made a difference, litter wise.

I carry a few of these www.envirotrend.com.au/shop/cart.php?target=category&category_id=29&pageID= around with me. Much better than plastic.

Yabu. I reuse all mine as bin bags, so if they started charging, I'd just end up buying bin bags instead.

yanbu at all.
I hate seeing the plastic bags hanging in trees. and there are rubbish as rubbish bags as well.
I have a small foldable bag in my handbag for the small spontaneous shop and crates in the car for the big weekly shop.

I think the bags should be banned altogether, are people so lazy that they cannot bring their own reusable bags with them.

But Phoenix, you don't have to pay 5p to advertise the shop - you can always take your oen bags/crates.

I think we should do as they do in France and just not give any bags out free.
