With the UK now the biggest dumper of waste in Europe you have to ask why it takes so long for anything to actually be done about it?
Now over 90% of Londoners have called for action to address the environmental impact caused by throw-away plastic bags. But how long before any measures are introduced and what about the rest of the country?
A consultation by 33 London Councils has revealed that (from a sample of 1,752 people) 58.2% want a ban on plastic bags in the capital and a further 34.4% were favourable to a levy system as the way forward. It means more than nine out of ten Londoners are favourable to action being taken on that matter.
The results will be considered by London’s Councils’ Leaders Committee on 13th November, which will decide what proposals regarding plastic bags should be included in the bill. Looks like this little measure might be quickly introduced.
