Re: The Great Plastic Carrier Bag Con
I am in Canberra for the long weekend visiting my daughter. This afternoon I went to the supermarket to buy some odds and ends and wondered about the checkout chick just piling my stuff up on the counter. Then she asked if I wanted to BUY a plastic bag (15c) because they didn't supply them any more, apparently the free plastic bags are banned in the ACT but they don't supply paper bags instead.Re: The Great Plastic Carrier Bag Con
Following Janelas comment that other countries are exporting recycled materials, I was surprised to discover that a great deal of our recycled bottles, plastic & paper/cardboard is sent in containers to China at a cost of £500 a consignment. The stuff is then sorted by poorly paid workers.Re: The Great Plastic Carrier Bag Con
When I were a lad, my mother used to carry a shopping bag (or 2) - no plastic bags then. We've just become too used to having our shopping popped into a disposable plastic bag for our convenience.Thread Tools | |
