British shoppers will take home about 6billion fewer single-use plastic bags this year because the government introduced a 5p charge， according to data published July 30． The 5p charge has resulted in donations of more than ￡29 million from retailers toward charities（慈善机构） and community groups．
About 8 million tons of plastic pollutes the oceans each year， and experts judge the plastic is swallowed by 31 species of marine（海生的） mammals and some 100 species of seabirds．
"Taking six billion plastic bags out of circulation is fantastic news for all of us - it will mean our precious marine life is safer， our communities are cleaner， and future generations won't suffer from mountains of plastic taking hundreds of years to break down in landfill sites，" UK Environment Minister Therese Coffey said． "The 5p charge has clearly been a huge success - not only for our environment but for good causes across the country that have benefited from an impressive ￡29 million raised． It shows small actions can make the biggest difference， but we must not be complacent as there is always more we can all do to reduce waste and recycle what we use．"
More than 7 billion carrier bags were issued by seven leading retailers in 2014， but that number has fallen to slightly more than 500 million in the first six months of the 5p charge for single-use carrier bags introduced in October 2015．
"We are delighted to see that the bag charge in England is showing positive results． This is a significant reduction that will benefit the environment as a whole， and our sea life in particular，" said Dr． Sue Kinsey， a technical specialist． "There is always more that we can do， and we encourage everyone to join in our Great British Beach Clean to help keep our coastlines clean．"
