Because of the environmental hazards posed by plastic bags, I have filed legislation that aims to persuade consumers gently not to choose the 'plastic' option by introducing a small fee on plastic bags at the checkout of large retail stores. Customers would be exempt from the fee if they brought their own reusable bag, didn't use a bag, requested a paper bag, used a compostable bag provided by the store, or reused a plastic bag. .
