If the govt were serious about the environment they would tackle the real problems supermarkets pose, and that is excess packaging on almost everything we buy. Carrier bags account for about 0.2% of waste and this is just political posturing and a vote grabbing exercise. Either fix it or leave well alone Mr Brown. Do not tinker at the edges of social problems and expect us to believe that what you`re doing is a sincere attempt to impove the quality of life.
