Stuffing our environment
"K" wrote in message Janet Baraclough writes The message .com from contains these words: It really worked (make it illegal to give plastic bags for nothing; you must charge for them). I don't dispute it worked, only (Sue's claim) that UK supermarkets will take no action unless forced: they already do take action. They haven't taken the critical action of withdrawing the free plastic bags. snip Yes, those were the ones I meant. I believe Lidl charge for the flimsy carriers (or used to) but I can't see any of the Big Boys doing so unforced, unless by some miracle they can all agree to do it simultaneously. The 'bag for life' was a good initiative, I agree, and perhaps needs some re-promotion. I've had them from Sainsbury's and Waitrose and they really do last and last. -- Sue |
