Alt Cardiff asked the residents of Cardiff, “How do you feel about the compulsory carrier bag charge in Wales?”
A range of local people were interviewed to find out their thoughts on the minimum 5p charge to all single use carrier bags since the legislation was introduced on the 1 October 2011.
David Williams thinks the charge will help us stop collecting too many bags at home
According to the Welsh Government website the charge is to help reduce the number of carrier bags used in Wales by encouraging people to use their own bags.
Graham Ellis, a retiree from Rhiwbeina agreed with the charge, “There are just too many plastic bags. So recycling is good, reusing is good.”
The majority of interviewees took a similar view and agreed the change was a positive idea.
