Shops to Charge 5p Per Carrier Bag in Wales

The video discusses a new initiative in Wales where shops will charge 5 pence for single-use bags to reduce litter. While some oppose the charge, many support it, seeing it as a step towards environmental responsibility. The video compares this initiative to Ireland's bag tax, which reduced bag usage but not overall plastic consumption. A UK poll shows 63% support for a nationwide bag charge. The video concludes by highlighting the need to address broader throwaway culture and encourages reuse and recycling.
