Change the 5p plastic bag law and make it mandatory to use paper bags.

Petition Details

I would like the government to look at the law enforcing 5p per bag in shops, and actually change the law to making shops supply paper bags, so it is actually going to have an impact on the planet.

Additional Information

I have a number of 'bag for life' bags and I regularly go shopping and see people forget to take them (Myself included).We then resort to buying a plastic one.The 5p law is not stopping the problem that plastic is consuming the world, its killing our wildlife and it is harmful to people and the planet. We need to care for our planet and actually do something that is going to make a difference. This article really shows the damage we are doing http://www.bigfatbags.co.uk/plastic-bags-environment/
