Concerns have been expressed in England recently over potential “bag rage” regarding a new charge for plastic shopping bags. However, I find it encouraging to see such firm action being made at this level. Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Bangladesh, Rwanda, and parts of the United States have already implemented charges or restrictions on plastic bag use. It is crazy to think of how these bags end up everywhere, polluting the environment and killing wildlife regularly.
