Stephen Jardine sits in

Stephen Jardine sits in for Kaye Adams and asks listeners if carrier bag charges made them change their behaviour, following proposals for a 25 pence charge for disposable cups.

According to Cardiff University research, disposable coffee cup usage could be cut dramatically if charges were brought in with incentives to promote re-usable cups.
