[quote=DREAMLIFE,264372]It is said that the State Council has released a notice that shops supermarkets and sales outlets are not allowed to offer free plastic bags and all carrier must be marked with their prices. To deal with environment pollution, the notice calls on people to use cloth bags or bring their baskets. For the manufactures, sale and use of bags under 0.025mm thick is banned from the same date, with fines and confiscation of goods and profits for firms that flout the rules. "The cabinet also said finance authorities should consider adjusting taxes to discourage the production and sale of plastic bags and encourage the recycling industry. " According to the data, Chinese people use about three billion plastic bags a day. How about one month, one year? Horrible! Applause for the policy![/quote]
