I do think governments need to regulate the company's use of plastics - it always seems to rest in the hand of the consumer, as if we're to blame for plastic pollution. Supermarkets crow about how environmentally awesome they are by making us bring our own bags or buy paper bags and then sell us chocolate biscuits triple wrapped in plastic.

For sure, this is a very serious problem and one that somehow gets worse? I am not even sure how. I am seeing individually wrapped fruits inside of another plastic bag, and things like this becoming more serious by the day. How is the consumer in this sense to be blamed when the government "OKs" this behaviour from companies? Sure, the consumer could not buy that product, but the thing is it is already produced, and someone else (less worried about the environment) will buy it. So sad.
