The Best Tax Ever

This was a great move by the Irish, why more governments don't adopt it I really don't know, the figures are staggering.

2002 saw a drop in annual plastic bag consumption drop from 328 per head to just 21.

Five years on, I still have, and use, my permanent shopping bags, I think a post or two less on the blog and spend the time lobbying for the introduction in this country would make a great deal of sense.

Anybody out there fancy joining me in setting up a pressure group? email me if you do. (email in profile)
