一次性手提袋收费 (SUCBC) 要求以少量费用而非免费出售袋子。 SUCBC 可能会产生“溢出”效应，其他环保态度和行为可能会增加或减少。我们调查了 2011 年威尔士 SUCBC，以及其他行为和态度是否发生溢出。通过了解社会调查（n= 17,636），结果显示，与英格兰和苏格兰相比，威尔士使用自己的购物袋的人数有所增加。使用自己的袋子的增加与其他六种可持续行为的增加有关，尽管其中三种行为在威尔士的变化要小得多。增加使用自己的袋子与更强的环境观念有关，但在威尔士，三分之二的措施的效果较弱。我们得出的结论是，威尔士 SUCBC 有效地鼓励了袋子的重复使用，但由于改变行为的外部动机，其他环境态度和行为的变化很小。
A Single-Use Carrier Bag Charge (SUCBC) requires bags to be sold for a small fee, instead of free of charge. SUCBCs may produce ‘spillover’ effects, where other pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours could increase or decrease. We investigate the 2011 Welsh SUCBC, and whether spillover occurs in other behaviours and attitudes. Using the Understanding Society Survey (n= 17,636), results show that use of own shopping bags increased in Wales, compared to England and Scotland. Increased use of own bags was linked to increases in six other sustainable behaviours, although changes were significantly smaller in Wales for three of these behaviours. Increased own bag use was linked to stronger environmental views, but effects were weaker in Wales for two out of three measures. We conclude that the Welsh SUCBC effectively encouraged bag re-use, but with minimal changes in other environmental attitudes and behaviours, due to the external motivation to change behaviour.
