...with all the fuss about plastic carrier bags clarting up the environment, you'd think some of these retailers would twig the nice brown paper sacks they dole out in the US (think Maggie Simpson on the checkout). Mrs Chappie's post made me think.
Cheap to make - recycled materials and easily recyclable - good advertising opportunity. Burn well on the fire. What's not to like?
I too think that was the correct response, to encourage paper rather than plastic. After all despite the weak justification for this latest imposition, folk can still put plastic bags into the environment; they are just charged for them these days. So, so much for that. But discussing with a friend of mine who once worked in a paper mill, he pointed out that...
No handles, they are useless if its raining between shop and car, and why would anyone use them if they can get a good sturdy plastic bag-for-life, like mine from Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, etc.
