Single-use plastic carrier bags charge: data in England for 2016 to 2017Yes there are real concerns about the changing climate. I only point out that the solutions proposed from political circles do not actually deal with those concerns. They do not stop climate change or even slow it down nor are there many reasonable proposals for dealing with the consequences of a changing climate. . Mainly the proposed political solutions just redistribute wealth and power while watching the climate change. I am unaware of minimum prices for plastic bags doing anything much in reducing plastic waste. Perhaps you could provide the information I lack? Certainly the problem of plastic waste is one that could be solved fairly easily as it has only one cause , that being human wastefulness and therefore is controllable. Unlike climate change that most likely must be worked around rather than controlled due to the multiplicity of causes, many of which are completely out of our control.
