No more plastic bags

In 2011 a new law, the first of its kind in the UK, was passed in Wales. Shops were no longer allowed to give
away free plastic bags to their customers. Instead, they had to charge a tax of 5p per bag, which was collected
and given to charity. The results were amazing – within a year, the demand for supermarket bags fell by about
ninety-six percent. The extra charge was enough to make Welsh shoppers change their habits and remember to
take their own bags whenever they went shopping.

The tax was the result of a huge campaign, which was supported by a national newspaper, the Daily Mail, as
well as various politicians and green campaigners. It is increasingly popular too. When it was introduced, it was
supported by about fifty-nine percent of the Welsh population, but after only six months the figure was seventy
percent.

There is no doubt that plastic bags are bad news for the environment. Every year in the UK about eighteen
billion (18,000,000,000) plastic bags are given away by supermarkets – that’s about 290 bags per person. Most
of them end up in landfill sites, where they remain for hundreds of years, polluting the environment. Wildlife is
affected too. For example, every year a million seabirds die when they mistake bags floating on the sea for food.

All this is bad enough, but plastic bags damage the environment in other ways too. Before they reach the shops,
they have already travelled thousands of miles – most of them are made in China or India and then shipped to
countries in Europe, including the UK. Then, when they have been used (for an average of twenty minutes each)
and thrown away, they are often shipped back again, because we are running out of space here.

The solution to this problem is obvious – stop producing so many plastic bags, and stop giving them away – but
shoppers in the UK have been very slow to change their ways. However, the success of the Welsh tax shows
that it is possible to change people’s shopping habits. According to researchers from Cardiff University, part of
the reason for the popularity of the tax is that the money goes to charity, not the government. Certainly,
hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised since the tax was introduced. The money has gone to a
variety of good causes, including local children’s charities and the RSPB (the Royal Society for the Protection
of Birds).

It is safe to conclude that the plastic bag tax has brought positive change to Wales.

Amy: Hey Pete. I’m OK. I was just thinking about when we leave school.
Are you going to apply for university?
Pete: I don’t know. I’m still thinking about it.
Amy: Well, what sort of job do you want in the future?
Pete: Hmm, I think I’d like to be a teacher.
Amy: What subject?
Pete: Hmm? Oh, History. It’s my best subject by miles.
Amy: Well, if you want to teach you’ll definitely need to go to university.
Pete: I know, but I’m not really sure yet. I think I’d like to take a year out and go travelling first.
Amy: Me too, you know I’ve always wanted to go to China. It’s my dream.
Pete: China, cool. It’s on my list of places to go! Amy: Yes, well, I’ll have to wait a while. I don’t want to take
any time off between school and university.
Pete: Why not?
Amy: Well, I want to be a vet. I’ve always wanted to work with animals. Ever since I can remember. Anyway, it
takes six years to qualify. I mean, if I take a year off before I start, I’ll be really old before I even finish the
course.
Pete: Oh, right, yes, good point. Wow! A vet! That’s cool. What subjects do you need to do that? Science, I
suppose?
Amy: Yes, that’s right. And Maths. That’s my weakest subject.
Pete: Oh, you’ll be fine.
Amy: Well, maybe. But I’d better get back to my books now, anyway. We’ve got an exam tomorrow,
remember? Pete: Yes, I remember. I’m on it. See you tomorrow.
