I know we have discussed this issue on DTL before ... now we will find out for real if banning the free carrier bag will make a difference .. The village shop is already trying to get people to sign a petition to keep the free bags ..why ????

Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!I was i Wales recently and noticed a sign in McDonalds saying they were charging 5p for their bags, I thought it was a great idea! Carrier bags are pointless, everyone should use the re-usable ones and be done wih it!
Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!I dont understand the petition thing. Surely it costs the shopkeepwer to buy the bags and he doesnt get anything back for them

Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!
I think he's playing to his audience Ruth ..a lot of younger people are saying 5p is too much for a little blue carrier bag ![]() Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!Gosh Jannie, have been thinking of you since I heard this, good on them I say, wish they would do it here
![]() If I was the local shop owner I would be stocking bags for life and shopping bags ![]() Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!Why can't them just ban non biodegradable bags.
I and reuse mine many times. I'm sure there are much more resources go into a 10p bag for life with all it's bright colours etc than a fee reusable biodegradable bag. Allotment http://taylorsplot.blogspot.com/

Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!More often than not now we use 'bags for life' and on the odd occasion where we 'need' a plastic bag we always reuse it in some shape or form

NO NO NO. I don't use plastic bags, take the trolley to the car and load into boxes. BUT the bags I do get, now & then are useful in the freezer, except that nowadays they tend to split and spill peas or gooseberries everywhere. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!I went to Booooots for a few things earlier and took my bag with me, when the lady offered me a bag I said I was surprised they're still giving them with shopping.
Jannie - just re-read your post and seen that it's in Wales where they'll charge for plastic bags! ![]() ![]() The lady at Boooots said she reckoned only 10% of customers bring their own bags! Bev x

Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!Sorry, but I think we have huge problems in the world and the issue of carrier bags is a distraction more than anything else.
Mo, I'm not picking on you, ![]() (and yes, I do use my car for shopping, and no, I don't use c.b's!) Missing my little friend Sunny Clucker
Re: Last day for free carrier bags!!While I agree with you in principle Sunny, if everyone stopped using disposable nonbiodegradable bags, perhaps that would be a start and then we could move on to dealing with issues that people are less likely to want to do. What I mean is, I know carrier bags are only a small part of a huge problem, but if we solve the small problem, then the world would have to start looking harder at the bigger problems.
One step at a time. There are those who might use your argument to suggest that because it makes only a little bit of difference, then why bother? Chris xx

I don't know how any one can make a desicion without information like that. Allotment http://taylorsplot.blogspot.com/

The problems with 'bags for life' include - they dont last for life (just the life of the bag ![]() And then of course there is all the colouring etc as already mentioned in so-called bags for life. Chris xx

True. I could say a) only when I'm passing b)it's over a mile to the nearest shop but you'd say a) I use the car too much for going dancing b) I choose to live in the wilds More on this later - I'm off out dancing Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
