Update: Esther Tan from Singapore Environment Council left a comment on this show which I thought was interesting:

Hello folks,

Actually, the donations will come to us at the Singapore Environment Council. The SEC is a charity and a non-government organisation. The money that we receive will be used in our environmental educational programmes, one of the major ones being the Climate Change Awareness Programme.

Personally, I feel that 10 cents does not represent the cost of a plastic bag. Rather, it represents the ENVIRONMENTAL cost of a plastic bag. There is an environmental cost to everything that we do. All our daily activities comes at an environmental cost. And for a very long time, we have ignored this very important fact. This is why we are facing so many environmental problems that inevitably affect our pockets, and worse, threaten our very existence.

Anyway, 10 cents is just the suggested amount. If you want, just put in 1 cent. Or nothing at all. It is voluntary after all.

If you underestimate the damage that plastic bags can do, please visit the following website and perhaps you will be as afraid as I was when I read it……
