Letter: That's enough of the charity plastic bags

Letter: The escalation of plastic bags arriving through the door, here and presumably all over Britain, is wasting a good deal of oil (plastic), resources and manpower.

I have never seen any evidence of collection of full or empty bags, nor has anyone I've spoken to either. These "registered charities" are not all they seem either.

Only a small percentage of profit (if any) goes to the causes, which sound like genuine charities, to pull at the heart strings, but are they?

These plastic bags cause litter where not picked up from doorsteps and gardens. We and the mother-in-law received 10 last week. We now have years of supply of bags for our rubbish bins.

This waste should be stopped.
