Major supermarkets including Coles and Woolworth phased out single-use plastic bags back in July 2018, instead introducing reusable bags for a fee. Do you agree that the change is in the fight to protect the environment and for a great cause? What is your view about the plastic bag ban in Australia? Has NSW moved to legislate to phase out plastic bags? Has political correctness gone too far or far enough?

What is the status of Australian plastic consumption since the ban of plastic bags? Does the ban make any difference to the environment? Discuss. Provide appropriate legislations, cases, reports and newspaper articles to support your discussions.
