Our call
1) Charge at least 10c per plastic bag
2) Give the profits to community and environmental groups
If the Warehouse can do it then anyone can, this simple step will stop over 800 million bags a year (80%) being wasted and would create a 15 million dollar fund for a cleaner and greener New Zealand.
