Environmental campaigners have called on the government to learn from its own successes after official figures showed the use of single-use supermarket plastic bags had fallen 98% since retailers in England began charging for them in 2015.
Annual distribution of plastic carrier bags by seven leading grocery chains plummeted from 7.6bn in 2014 to 133m last year, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said on Monday.
@Wooly @Magnus I click no bags… after I’ve scanned them.
What’s the outcome of that?
@Wooly I pay for the bags, but only once.
Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? Either you scan them, or tap however many bags at the end. Not both.
Btw you don’t need to @ me when replying, this is double bag scanning but for Lemmy.
Yes, that was kind of the point.
(The @ ing is because I’m replying from Mastodon, it does that by default)
Oh fair, first mastadon person I’ve met.
Even the federators get confused by federation.
