P-05-803 Our natural world is being poisoned by single use plastics...it’s time to introduce a tax! - Correspondence from the petitioner to the Committee, 17.09.18

Dear Assembly Member,

The members of Friends of Barry Beaches are extremely concerned about the delays in introducing effective taxation on single use plastics. Month in month out the tide of single use plastics seems to be relentless. There seems to be plenty of talk from politicians from Westminster and the Welsh Government but very little action. 

Wales could be a leader in these progressive single use plastic taxes which will help our environment but instead we seem content in following Michael Gove and his rush to do nothing! 

Following the shock of the Blue Planet images, the Welsh people have been calling for action to resolve this tide of plastic...enough of talking-it is time now to do!
