There are many people shopping or doing groceries and that take a plastic bag. This is a big problem. They use it one or two times and throw it away. Can we do something against this problem?

I think it’s relatively simple. People take or buy a bag, because it’s a simple way to carry something. A plastic bag is cheap or it cost nothing. My idea is to make the plastic bag expensive. So your problem is solved. When you see the bag is expensive, you don’t have the will to buy one. Then they might react; it isn’t the money his value. And they do not buy a plastic bag.

A country has taxes and duties, why they don’t have taxes and duties on plastic bags, is the question. A plastic bag is so bad for the environment. It takes a time, ten to twenty years, for the plastic bag is gone. That is not the only problem. The animals eat it and the can die. We have more dirt on the street and other people have to clean it. All this isn’t necessary.

In short it is a good idea to make plastic bags expensive and spent the money in the environment. We can do this!
