Plastic Bag Tax: From Critic to Supporter
It was encouraging to read this article regarding the success of Ireland’s plastic bag tax.
What I particularly liked about the article (apart from the obvious success of the tax), were these comments from, Senator Feargal Quinn, the founder of the Irish supermarket chain Superquinn:
“I spent many months arguing against this tax with the minister; I thought customers wouldn’t accept it, but I have become a big, big enthusiast”.
I wonder how many more people, from countries that have either taxed or banned plastic bags, have gone from critic to supporter?
