Use of disposable plastic bags in Israel drops by over 50% after imposition of tax on use of bags at supermarkets.

Tax on plastic bags partially enforced on residents of Judea and Samaria - even though it still does not apply over 'Green Line.'

Jewish Home MK who once praised law charging customers tax on each shopping bag finds shopping 'degrading' under the law.

Yesha residents say controversial tax on shopping bags was never applied to towns beyond Green Line, cannot be enforced on them.

Former Chief Scientist of the Education Ministry says bag law about intimidation, not protecting the environment.
