Back in 2015, the UK made a drastic change by charging shoppers for plastic grocery bags. What seemed to be a very small price - only five pence for one bag, actually resulted in a massive change. Not only did it stop many people from using an extra unnecessary bag, but the shops were also encouraged to donate any funds raised from selling the bags to environmental associations. In 2016, the Great British Beach Clean association announced that the amount of plastic bags on the beaches was down by 37%, proving there was a drastic change. But there is still a long way to go, in the USA every person uses about 1 plastic bag a day, resulting in 365 plastic bags per person, meanwhile, Denmark and Finland's citizens only use 4 bags per year. Seriously, how are Scandinavians so good at this environmental stuff? Absolutely outstanding.
