Increase the price of plastic bags from 5p
As a lot of people may disagree with this argument, we need to look at the evidence showing a bigger picture to why this will help us in the long run.
Charging 5p for plastic bags in a first world, rich country is never going to stop people from purchasing them. The whole point of the 5p scheme was to reduce the amount of plastic that we’re using and purchasing everyday. 5p to the average person in the UK is never going to make much difference. The short uproar of this argument is a price I’m willing to pay for the long term benefit it will have to our environment, planet and well-being of animals.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure what you'd like the charge for plastic bags to be.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
