Plastic Bags
will you care that you will have to pay 5p for the privilege, i can't see it making any difference at all, now if you banned them in shops entirely, then the folks would have to have a bag for life, not the missus either,
or take a trolley, backpack, some other means of transporting the goods.

I absolutely detest plastic carrier bags. Sheer laziness IMO that shoppers can't be bothered to carry their own shoppers. I've had my "fold up" type bags for years and never take plastic bags or carriers. I would charge £1 for one. Maybe things would change then.

That is a thought Maggiebee...I live in England so the situation has not arose yet but boxes are a good idea...nearer to Autumn when the 5p fee comes in to force..will ask about it at the supermarket.
I dislike plastic bags...so common..I always take a nice foldable tote bag when I go on a shopping spree..although I do not mind the bags from "posh" shops...I am being snobby now...aren`t I but I am not really...just like a bit of class.

Like alot of people I use the plastic supermarket bags as bin liners.
If they charge for them I'll just have to start buying the purpose made bin liners, but from a 'green' point of view it won't make any difference - there's still going to be a plastic bag going into landfill at the end of the day.

i never know why supermarkets shrink wrap hard to get off plastic on cucumbers and some other items, much of our packaging is completely unnecessary. I also buy veg, fruit from a market, so don't need endless paper or plastic bags. If i do i will take one with me, the cotton bag i have for that use only then stuff the whole lot in the trolley,
If you have a car something like this is a great idea - put all your shopping back in the trolley and wheel the trolley to the car, unpack in to crates

hc, which is what i see any number of people do, however its down to the supermarkets to stop making them, or the science boffins to come up with a material for carriers that in no way harms the environment.
plastic bottles, bags, containers, all mostly non biodegradable, so end up in land fill, which in turn isn't a good thing.
