膠袋稅
膠袋稅是政府對使用塑膠購物袋(膠袋)徵收的稅項,目的是為了減少膠袋的使用,所得的收入也有助推動環保。
2002年3月4日,愛爾蘭為每個膠袋徵收15便士稅項,結果使膠袋使用量減少95%。
2007年,香港也有徵收膠袋稅的構思。政府建議每個膠袋收費5角,首階段涵蓋全港5.5萬個零售點中約2000個零售點,針對連鎖式超市、便利店及個人用品護理店。公眾諮詢完成後,就會著手草擬法例,預計今年底前提交立法會審議,希望於2007至08年度完成立法程序。待法例通過後,政府會給予業界1至2個月落實新措施,最快2008年底正式推行。
台灣好似只有台北收膠袋稅(聽講係只有台北,但係唔知點解機場響桃園,要膠袋一樣要錢),買嘢商舖唔會俾膠袋,問佢攞,每個盛惠NT$1(港幣兩毫幾子).

Per bag levy
This site, and the BagsNOT campaign have a very specific purpose: to bring about a per-bag government levy on each plastic shopping bag given out at supermarkets and grocery stores in New Zealand.
The campaign focuses solely on the REDUCE part of "reduce, reuse, recycle" - this is the most potent of the three ways to attack our waste issue and the most often overlooked.
Waste plastic bags have an undeniably negative effect on our environment. The BagsNOT campaign focuses on the solution rather than the problem. However if you wish to find out about the direct effects of plastic bags on marine life, the litter issue, and how petroleum products fuel climate change please check out the FAQ section.
Plastic shopping bags are an easily combatable problem. Ireland introduced a shopping bag levy in March 2002 - since then their usage of plastic bags has dropped over 90%.
If Ireland can do it - so can we.
A pragmatic approach to environmental issues
Promotional campaigns encouraging voluntary reductions have proven to be largely ineffective.
It has been shown internationally that a small monetary disincentive is enough to change the habits of a nation. Introducing a 30 cent levy on each plastic bag given out at supermarkets and grocery stores will make a difference.
There has been a lot of talk recently about living up to our clean and green image and becoming a less environmentally damaging nation. Now is the time for action.
Successful action on the shopping bag issue has the potential to inspire the nation to take a fresh look at the issue of waste and packaging, and will establish a can do attitude towards solving environmental problems. It is this kind of pragmatic approach to specific issues which we need to use to tackle the roots of global warming.
