The three-hour public hearing on charging money for plastic bag in supermarkets resulted in nothing last Wednesday at Renmin University.
The public hearing was organized by the volunteer association of the Environment Department, which came up with the proposal.
"We were planning to reduce the usage of plastic bags on campus through charging 0.1 yuan for each plastic bag," explained Li Kai, president of the association.
Student representatives, school authorities, environmental protection NGOs and supermarkets representatives, were present at the public hearing.
However, the majority of student representatives opposed the plan, although some of them agreed to reward students who bring their own bags.
"It doesn't mean that we don't care about the environment. The fact is, as consumers, we care about money," said a graduate student representative, who gives his name as Li.
