Plastic bags
I just sent this suggestion to Countdown.
I would like to suggest that you make people pay for plastic bags. In the UK they have saved billions of plastic bags in the over half a year they have been charging people 5p per bag. If you really love NZ you will do this. We can't leave this plastic bag legacy to our children and grandchildren. Your store people should at least be encouraging people to use the less throw away versions. NZ used to lead the world in innovative behaviour. Now we're just a sleepy nation on the edge of the planet with a much much less than pure environment than we pretend to have.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
