Plastic bag poll - have authorities got it right?

Endemic to the food/shopping stream, just the tip of the packaging iceberg. Better solutions are needed at state level (like bulk energy recovery, e.g.). See "Christchurch council no longer recycling plastic bags" 21.9.18 story: www.newshub.co.nz...
