Petition Increase the 5p charge for plastic bags to 10p across the UK

It takes up to 1000 years for a plastic bag to decompose in landfills. Over 100 million marine animals die each year due to plastic in the oceans and other water systems. The 5p bag charge reduced plastic bag usuage by 85% but 2.1 billion bags were still sold between April 2016 and April 2017.
