Of course will drop
People not happy to pay for plastic bags suppose to be free for shoppers
But still have to buy plastic bags for garbage use.
In the end plastic bags usage cannot be reduced
No weapons that forms against me shall prosper
No tongue that rises against me I shall condemn

My usage of plastic bags remains the same. The only difference is that I have to pay for them now.

5-cent charge by supermarkets is a behavioural nudge in the right direction towards broader conversation, sustainable alternatives.
The low SES have been nudged into throwing their food waste directly down the HDB rubbish chute!

If the Govt expects Sinkies to bag our garbage and food waste before discarding them down the rubbish chute, then plastic bags are an essential item. So why are we expected to pay for an "essential item"?
