Rejected petition Introduction of Paper Bags throughout the UK

Plastic bags we are all agreed are an item that should be totally banned. They are not environmentally friendly and are discarded by most people. Bring back the paper bag.

More details

In their place, we should follow the example of stores like Primark, Zara and O2 in the UK and the USA in general who all provide paper bags. Go into any supermarket in the USA and all your goods are packed in paper bags. When I was young paper bags were all that was available. It is now time to make it UK law that all retailers use paper bags. All of which are able to be recycled. Please add your name to get this made law.
