Question

Another labour scam? charging for plastic bags. china will waste all the co2 the world saves?

Answer 1

China has banned the use of giving out free plastic bags.

To be honest the charging of them is working I see many people in the shops using old plastic bags or other bags.

With that in mind, the USA still has to catch up with the banning of plastic bags, only a couple of cities in the states ban the use of plastic bags.

The charging of plastic bags only increases the profits of the supermarkets, they get some capital back for selling them as they were free before or they don't have to buy as many now, is has nothing to do with it being a labour scam.

Answer 2

Good on the Chinese government. It's time the rest of the  world did the same thing to save this planet.

Answer 3

China and India will indeed produce plenty of CO2. However, if we do not cut our own emissions, will the atmoshpere become cleaner or not? Obvious answer!

How would you best encourage China and India not to produce masses of environmental destruction (like the US has done for decades!)? Is it by still wasting billions of plastics, and as much energy as we can, or by setting a good example- so that when a Chinaman goes on holiday from smoggy Beijing, to green and lovely London or Washington, he will go home and draw a comparison?

I think your question is daft, but I do agree with the other answer that the governments could simply ban the bags completely. However, with a little investigation, there are various Labour party memebers with interests in plastics and petro-chemical companies, and they won't ban their own products, as that would mean they might have a little less in their luxurious and pampered lives.

All the best.

Answer 4

How can we do this? We let China get away with this, murder millions of tibetan monks, blackmail the world to stop Taiwan independence, ban teaching English in their own country, execute more prisoners than any other country, pollute more than any other country and sell arms to terrorists, why?
