plastic bag

Plastic bags are widely used in all communities but can pose a threat to the environment. The ACT Government wants to know whether Canberrans are concerned by their use and if so what should be done about it. Do you want to ban them? Introduce a levy? Or encourage the use of other types of bags? Please have your say on this issue and help us get the best policy in place. Telephone surveys have already commenced while there will also be the opportunity to have a say through consultation sessions taking place in shopping centres. [update: 31 August 2009]
