摘要

Three Environmental charities have called for a levy on single-use bags in England, following the success of such levies in Wales and Ireland. The Campaign to Protect Rural England, Keep Britain Tidy (KBT), the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage are calling on the Government to reduce litter and waste by requiring retailers to introduce a small levy on all single-use bags. According to the groups, over the past two years, the number of carrier bags used in England has increased despite repeated Government calls for retailers to reduce the numbers they give out. This has spurred them to launch the Break The Bag Habit Campaign. "Last year businesses in the UK issued plastic bags at a rate of 254 a second. A total of eight billion 'thin-gauge' plastic bags were issued during 2011 -a 5.4 percent increase on the 7.6 billion bags issued in 2010," KBT said. "The bulk of this increase came from England, the only home nation not to have a single-use bag levy in place or to be actively seeking to implement one."
