Kaye Adams asks whether paying five pence for a plastic bag would make you think twice.

Kaye Adams asks whether having to pay five pence for a plastic carrier bag would make you think twice before using one.

The Scottish Government have revealed that Scots use a whopping 750 million plastic bags every year.
They plan to force shops to charge 5p for every plastic bag taken by shoppers, with the money going to charity.

Kaye asks:
Would having to pay 5p for a plastic bag stop you from using them? Or do we need a more radical solution?
