I listened. I liked.
But I would say re: plastic bag tax that if there’s gonna be a tax on grocery bags, it’s hard to prove that plastic is worse than paper for the environment … both use resources, both have to be recycled, and pastic bags are re-used in many, many ways (though “as my lunch sack” probably isn’t a very eco-friendly re-use). This one could go in circles for a long time…
