Scotland cares about the environment through taxes

    




As you know, plastic bags decompose very long in nature. Thus, from October disposable bags for shopping in the store will cost 5 pennies. The money raised will go to charity, reports BBC News.

"Scotland uses around 750 million disposable bags per year. It's time to take action in order to reduce the number of these packages," said Secretary for the environment Richard Lochhead before the vote in Parliament.

In support of the initiative voted 100 members of Parliament, against — 12.

The minimum price for plastic bags back in 2011, was introduced in Wales. In the past year, such measures are approved and in Northern Ireland.
