In my last post, I spoke about online shopping, and saving the environment by buying your groceries online whilst playing online Bingo. This was as a result of us all trying to cut down on the use of plastic here in the UK, and becoming more aware of our shopping habits that affect the world.
Well, I’m now wondering of the new bags being sold are not just a great excuse for people to make money under the guise of going green? Have you seen how many new bags have popped up? Some chains are even commissioning people to design new bags for people to buy in their stores.
So doesn’t this defeat the purpose of not having bags at all? Sue, if they are boring brown hessian bags, no-one would want them, but that’s recyclable at least, good for a year and a few washes, and it doesn’t have some glazed petroleum product on the outside that looks good, but is 4 times the plastic used in a conventional supermarket bag? I dunno, call me skeptical, but I just see people looking to make a buck out of ‘green’ bags. Especially if there is some kind of ‘must have the latest’ trend' following closely behind…..Anyone else see a quick buck here?
