I guess many would know that Australia is facing the longest period of drought of the century for the past eight years or so. Hence they know pretty well the disastrous consequences of Global Warming to take this big step.

It was published in the news that Australia is going to impose a fee on plastic bags and this is in an aim reduce the number of plastic bags of up to 1.1 billion plastic bags in Victoria alone.
I’m really glad that Australia is making this move as this would deter consumers to accept free plastic bags that is one of the damaging harm to the environment. I wonder when would such a ban be imposed worldwide. Just consider this: 1 plastic bag takes 50 years to decompose. Just imagine 6.9 billion of them.
