Yes. I don't know why England is the last part of the UK to have it, it should've been introduced years ago. Since it was introduced in Wales, usage has dropped 80% or thereabouts as we were talking about in a lecture briefly the other day. One of our lecturers was talking about the fact that she left Germany over twenty years ago, and they had a plastic bag charge (or something like that) back then, so once again we've fallen behind on being more environmentally friendly. Plastic bags are bloody awful in so many different ways, and while there is so much more to do, if it reduces pollution just a little bit, it's great. Besides, canvas bags look so much better and are so much stronger!
