Getting people to pay for carrier bags (which are usually made of lightweight plastic) is one of the ways being used to encourage people to bring their own bags and re-use them. Billions of plastic bags are thrown away every year. They take years to break down in landfill. They get washed out to sea where they kill sea creatures like turtles, which eat them thinking they are jellyfish.
