Are you ready to completely ditch plastic bags? - Reply
I know many have commented about the plastic bag issue, but just wanted add on to this. Plastic bags have to go. They do clog up the rivers, oceans and seas. I like what all or hopefully what most of the supermarkets are doing are having most of the recyclable bags where you buy them from the supermarkets and then you can bring them back from your home to reuse them to do your groceries,etc.
If many supermarkets and retail stores are going to get rid of the plastic bags entirely which will awesome to do, then why couldn't they do the same for dairies and for bakeries as well? Follow suit.
We need to be a cleaner, greener, NZ country. We can do this New Zealand. Let our country be clean and green again and be the fighting machine that drives NZ to be a happier place for all people to live in.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
