SINGAPORE: In studying the best way to charge for disposable plastic bags, the Government will take into account the local context, including the current practice of reusing disposable carrier bags for rubbish.

It will also look into any possible impact of a charge on more vulnerable groups such as low-income households and consult the Ministry of Social and Family Development and social service agencies on possible mitigation measures, said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor in Parliament on Monday (May 10).

Singapore government prefers us to use more plastic because government needs to burn plastics and transform it to plastic raisins and using them for land reclamation.

Not everyone is keen to do online shopping for groceries and a credit card is needed.

positive incentives will encourage sinkies to carry their own “reusable” bags. if sinkie auntie carries lv bag for groceries, there should be a 6.9% discount for all purchases.

if she carries a birkin bag, 69% discount.

this whole campaign to penalize consumers for using plastics is a total white wash by the petrochemical industry to shift focus away from them.

if plastics are terrible for the environment, they should be taxed at the source. ie the producers.
