Stuffing our environment
"Sue" wrote in message reenews.net... "George.com" wrote snip I use large supermarket plastic bags for bin liners (I need about 1 a week) snip I do that too. Over here the major supermarkets provide a bin for recycling their old used plastic bags. Perhaps you could get them to do the same where you shop. If enough people demanded it they should listen. we have those too Sue however I would rather reduce on the manufacture than recycle. Reduce comes before recycle on the enviro hierarchy. A large national retailer of cheap(ish), often made in china products, has plastic bags with a large RECYCLE emblazened acorss them with a much small reduce and a far smaller reuse. I simply tell the checkout operator no plastic bags please and why. I use a cardboard box for groceries that the supermarket puts out after stacking shelves. rob |
