The charge is long overdue, but there are always those looking to profit. Notice the pound shops are now charging 10p for slightly better bags rather than their usual 5p rubbish, deliberately designed to last for 2 mins. Wonder if all this 10p is going to 'environmental causes'? Once the principle of a charge has been introduced, it's easily increased/added to.
