Here's why you really need to take your tote bag each time you leave the house:
There is still a very, very long way to go in. But it’s good to see steps being taken by the government and high-street. In fact, the government has confirmed that – because of the success of the 5p single-use plastic bag charge – they’re going to double the fee to 10p, and all stores, including corner shops, will have to apply the charge by 21 May.
“The introduction of the 5p charge has been a phenomenal success,” said Environment Minister Rebecca Pow. “We know we must go further to protect our natural environment and oceans, which is why we are now extending this charge to all businesses. “Over the next couple of weeks I urge all retailers of all sizes to make sure they are ready for the changes, as we work together to build back greener and strengthen our world-leading action to combat the scourge of plastic waste.”Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
