The government is planning to bring in a 5p charge on single-use plastic bags in England from next year to reduce the number handed out each year, many of which end up as litter and harm the environment.Shop for the perfect Discount Bridesmaid Dresses for sale to complement the bride.But the Environmental Audit Committee said plans to exclude biodegradable bags, paper bags and small retailers from the scheme risk confusing consumers and undermining the effectiveness and benefits of the levy. The 5p charge should be applied to all types of bags and retailers, a report by the parliamentary committee urged.Reducing the number of bags handed out by retailers cuts carbon emissions and the amount of natural resources being used, and reduces litter.Some eight billion single-use bags were handed out to consumers across the UK in 2012, but a 5p levy in Wales has shown significant success in reducing the number of carrier bags given out in the country by 75%.Northern Ireland has also brought in a charge, with Scotland set to do so this year and, in the face of pressure from campaigners, the government has unveiled plans to bring in a charge in England from next year.In England, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has proposed not to impose the charge on biodegradable bags, because it wants the industry to "find innovative approaches to decrease the environmental impact of plastic bags".Unique designer Wholesale Cheap Taffeta strapless Embroidery beaded Quinceanera Dresses DE2130 exquisitely tailored with one-of-a-kind prints, fine fabrics and luxurious embellishments.

In addition, the 5p levy will not apply to paper bags or reusable plastic "bags for life", and will not be charged in organisations of fewer than 250 employees.Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) chairwoman Joan Walley said: "Ministers have managed to make a complete mess of their planned carrier bags charge by making it unnecessarily complicated. Carrier bags litter our streets and harm wildlife, and the government is right to want to reduce their use. But Defra seems to have made decisions about the design of this scheme that were based more on wishful thinking than hard evidence."She added: "Before the government reaches the check-out with this policy,From party, 2014 New Arrivals Special Occasion Dresses to day and going out dresses and more. it needs to drop the exemptions and keep it simple to help shoppers do the right thing. This needn't be difficult – simple schemes in Wales and Ireland have dramatically reduced bag use, and had positive environmental impact. It's not too late to start listening and to re-think these flawed plans."The Guardian revealed earlier this week that environment minister, Dan Rogerson, got his figures for the carbon savings from a bag charge massively wrong when giving evidence to the committee.
