After setting up this blog and promoting the damage and ongoing havoc created by widespread dumping of plastic bags for flora; fauna and the animal world – I am obviously ecstatic to see the sudden avalanche of large retail outlet chains throughout world removing their free supply of plastic and promoting re-usable (canvas!!) bags.
However, I don’t think myself or any of you are naive enough to really believe this is being done for the good of the planet. The savings for these large supermarket chains will be significant I am sure. One massice Supermarket chain (Carrefour) here in Spain and France is running extensive TV campaigns asking their clients to help them in their quest to rid the world of the Plastic Bag – impressive!!
But whatever the motive – the plastic bag is in demise and we should be happy. See my next post on how to cope with a trolley full of groceries and no free bags (without creating a stock pile of re-usable bags at home!!)
