War on plastic bags is a waste of time
Features
Was I being unfair last week? A lot of people thought so. I wrote a blog post maintaining that the campaign against plastic carrier bags - by the government, newspapers, celebrities and green groups - militates against wider environmental action. Perhaps I should have explained my frustrations more clearly: I have lost count of the number of people who cheerfully tell me that though they still fly six or ten times a year, they see themselves as green because they do their recycling and bring their own bags to the shops. It's not that we shouldn't greatly reduce the number of plastic bags we use: we should. But this has become a substitute for the big and significant measures we should be taking; not an addition to them.
