Every time I visit the supermarket, (and that is once everyweek) I get my grocery in at least 4-5 bags. Assuming a big sized supermarket gets 500 shoppers everyday on a conservative side, the number of bags used by all of them is 2500 everyday. The total number of big sized stores across UK should be around 500 again. So the total bags used is 1,250,000 per day.
In a year it should be more than 456,250,000...
We all know they are free so we generously pluck as many as we need, never knowing that they cannot be recycled adding to the already burdened mother earth.
I strongly believe that the only way we can reduce this waste is by making people pay for them. And the response would be tremendous for sure.
