The Plastic Bag will be a thing of the past! Billions of Plastic Bags are polluting our planet every year! The Australian Government is serious about phasing out plastic bags for good. Plastic bags are harmful to the environment in several ways not only ending up as landfill, also harming our precious wildlife!
NOW A REALITY! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR PLASTIC BAGS..... why not save money and the environment and purchase our reusable Plantetbagz.

"SHOPPERS will pay 10c for each plastic bag they take home from supermarkets in three Victorian centres from today. The month-long trial will be held at Safeway, Coles and IGA stores in Warrnambool, Wangaratta, Fountain Gate and Narre Warren".
Environmentalists have estimated that worldwide approximately 3 – 4 billion plastic bags are littering our planet each year. If you tied those plastic bags end to end it would circle the earth more than 40 times! No wonder they say the world is suffocating under litter!
If the average family over a month period accumulates 30 plastic bags (not forgetting other retail shopping bags as well) then once the proposed 10cent levy per bag is introduced as law, by purchasing our reusable Planetbagz they will have paid for themselves in a few short months! Then you can avoid paying the plastic bag levy altogether!
