Hong Kong Businesses See a Drop in Business After Plastic Bag Tax

Posted on Mon, 08/03/2009 - 18:00

In an interesting, yet brief, article Earth Times is reporting that Hong Kong businesses are seeing a drop in their businesses since the plastic bag tax went into effect.  It seems from the article, that if consumers have forgotten to bring their bags to work, they will opt for not purchasing anything that day, rather than pay for a plastic bag. 

We think this is incredibly encouraging as it shows that consumers are truly dedicated to not using plastic bags.  It is also a great reminder to visit our shop page (http://www.conservingnow.com/shop) in order to stock up on bags for your home, office and car!
