Sinopse

Talked with Bjorn Lomborg head of an environmental think tank in Copenhagen. He says the banning of plastic bags is counterproductive. Lomborg says one must reuse an organic cotton shopping bag 20,000 times before it will have less climate damage than a plastic bag. But also says if you want to shrink the number of plastic bags used…TAX it. Tax in Ireland shrunk use from 328 bags a person per year to just 21.
