A London university is banning beef and charging a tax on plastics when students return in September. Goldsmith’s University said it will remove beef from its
shelves and charge a 10p levy on single-use water bottles and plastic cups as part of efforts to become carbon neutral by 2025.



My state just adopted a 10-cent tax on single-use plastic shopping bags. In two years, all single-use plastic bags will be banned, so two grocery chains already got rid of them ahead of the new law. I've been using canvas and other reusable bags for years; people just have to remember to keep some bags in their cars and whatnot. I like the idea of getting rid of the bags, as they are a nuisance in the landfills.
