Price increasing from 5 - 10 pence, “ WOW “.

Why not make the cost £1 then Some people’s attitude on recycling might change a little.

Ive not bought a plastic bag for years now and would feel so miffed off if I had to. My friends used to laugh at me for taking my own bags (before they were pushed into it).

Now who's laughing

I've not bought a shopping bag for over 4 years... I've been reusing the same ones over and a over even with their small holes in them.

Besides, what's 10p anyway when spread over 5 years if the bags stand the quality of time.

Or they'd could just stop making them and go to card bags?

I'm sure they already use them and they're pretty good too.

It started of as doing something for the environment, the plant, there is to much business in it now. What we are told about recycling is not the truth, the truth is disgusting. Being sold to poor country’s as recyclable but not recyclable. Dumped on them. Tonnes and tones of it. As soon as it’s sold to them we are marking it up as recycled. Making our recycling figures, all them tonnes look good. Sending it to countrys knowing that is not recyclable, knowing it is not happening.

I wish they would introduce a total ban on plastic bags.

Totally heart breaking seeing animals and birds suffering from contact with discarded plastics.

I don't mind paying for bags if I really need to but I always re use them around the house afterwards so never single use

BUT

The 10p bags now are so thin and shit you've done bloody well if you can get your groceries out the car without them all being ruined and making them only fit for the bin

This twice I’ve had Morrison’s ones break on me.

I often shop adhoc and do forget but if I know I’m going to the shop I take trolley bags

Much as I dislike plastic bags, I hate paper ones even more. They cost the environment 3 x as much to make as plastic ones. They are

Only really fit to use once. I stopped getting a paper bag in Primark a couple of years back. Mostly I use my reusable bags. I have a paper one o got from Morrisons, I paid 35p and it's not been used since. Also if you have no car and carry your shopping home, a paper bag is useless in the rain. More education is needed to get people to not be lazy and take a bag with them.

We don't need plastic bags...paper, cotton, hessian..no actual need for them..if they stopped producing them we'd use something else easy!

I don't know what proportion of people regularly buy new single use bags. I'm not sure I can feel superior about taking my own bags to the shops though, when I'm likely to be filling them with products over packaged in materials that'll go directly into landfill.

We have most of our shopping delivered, without bags. If we go to Aldi we drive, taking our own bags doesn't make us innocent of polluting.

I suppose that in the immortal words of the great bard of the ad campaigns "every little helps"

Years back in the days before plastic bags, shops used to leave all the empty cardboard boxes near the tills for people to pack their shopping in. Go back to this system instead of shops cutting the boxes up

I try using them when ever I can, even the empty ones left sitting in the shelves.

Most sell the cardboard on to recycling firms

I find it weird that supermarkets here charge for bags when other countries really don't care.

Walmart in America gives bags away for free, often packing only 1 or 2 items in them! Bags then get thrown away at home.
