Australians use 6.9 billion plastic bags every year, that's 325 per person. Tied together they will circulate the globe 42.5 times and with them lasting in excess of 1000 years, they will be around long after we aren't.

I have known about this problem since I was a little girl, It's been at least 40 years and ever since then, I would chop those plastic holders into bits with scissors. Today, I no longer buy products with these holders and if I do see them lying around, I still chop them up. If they were totally banned, we could stop this deadly trap for all marine animals and birds and all land animals!!

I think plastic bags should be banned everywhere but especially in places that are near oceans. That is where they do the most harm. Animals in the seas should not be dying because people are to damned lazy and irresponsible to dispose of them properly. I pick them up when I see them because I live not on the water but in Boston and near enough. Who nows how far these things fly in a good wind? Better safe that sorry.

I live in India and the Govt has ordered all supermarkets and other shops to charge people for plastic bags in which to carry away the things they buy. Nothing works like making people pay extra for things that were taken for granted so far. So now most people including yours truly, take along shopping bags made of jute and such like when we go grocery shopping and the like. Of course we are all wondering how the money so garnered will be utilized !
