Rejected petition Scrap plastic carrier bags and reduce tax on paper bags

The amount of plastic being produced is too high! a lot of these carrier bags only get used a handful of times.
Where so they end up? in land fill or our beautiful ocean.
It's time to make a change! Stop using plastic carrier bags.
