I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I’ve already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don’t know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?

    Oh that makes sense, the supermarkets I go to removed them ages ago. We have reusable cotton bags we use for supermarket items when they are needed.

    I’m super glad to hear about the plastic stickers. I vaguely remember hearing about that before. It’s a great change.

      I’m happy about the stickers too! As I remember it, there was some time needed to come up with an alternative which is why it’s happening now and not a few years back when other stuff was being banned.
