Paper bags would be better as well. All plastic should be standardised so there’s only one kind to put in the recycling box, and you know it can be recycled. Large businesses should be forced to invest in environmental electronics eg energy saving lightbulbs to save electricity.

They need to be taxed more heavily and held to account for the effect they’re having on the environment.(more)(less)
