Question

Darren Johnson, Is the plastic bag being used as a scapegoat by supermarkets to obscure the wider damage that they do to the environment through food packages and transportation? It seems very easy to put the onus upon the consumer to make a difference.

Answer

It is tip of the iceberg. There is the whole issue with packaging, transport and that kind of things. Symbolically the bag issue is very important one. If we can get people to change their behaviour I think there is a big change to get that cultural shift going and get people to think the wider issues. So it is symbolic issue, but it has wider potential to open up people to think wider issues like packaging and so on. MORE!
