Plans to Charge 5p For Every Plastic Bag

The video discusses the UK government's plan to charge 5P for single-use plastic bags to reduce their usage and protect the environment. The scheme has exemptions for small retailers and does not apply to paper or biodegradable bags. Retailers express concerns about the complexity of the plan, while some support the charge due to its environmental benefits. The charge has already shown positive results in Wales and Northern Ireland. Public opinion is generally supportive, with many willing to carry reusable bags. However, the government still faces challenges in fully implementing the plan.
