The results to last week's poll were as follows:
How many plastic bags did you or members of your household pay 5p for last month?
None - 60%
1 to 5 - 29%
6 to 10 - 10%
11 to 20 - 2%
21 to 30 - 0%
More than 30 - 0%
So the claim that the number of supermarket plastic bags used has gone down by 80% might well be true. The unknown variable is, are people buying an equal and opposite amount of bin liners etc. to use instead of plastic bags? How do we find that out?
A good turnout, thank you to everybody (121 people) who took part.
