Ban plastic bags in retail and high street shops

Whilst banning plastic straws could be seen as an attempt at “saving the planet”, it could also be merely viewed as a publicity stunt since plastic straws only make up 0.25% of the damage done to the earth by single use plastic. Not to mention that plastic straws are (in some cases) necessary for disabled people to drink safely. We urge that a more effective, safer alternative be made. Companies such as Primark have without-issue, used paper bags in their stores for bagging items.
