Paul Kennedy Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 As is mostly the case, we humans complain about change....but then adapt very quickly....and then wonder what all of the fuss was about. Must admit I always reuse the plastic bags as bin bags...albeit my stock is now much depleted....not sure what I will do when they have all gone. Often think shops selling clothes should give paper carrier bags...and follow Primark's excellent example....and as an aside, Primark have an outlet in Selfridges....and put your purchase in a Selfridges heavy duty paper bag...how posh is that.........do they have an outlet in Harrods......

Davy51 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Apparently, Primark carrier bags have a tendency to fall apart five minutes after leaving the shop Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 now if only we can get China to actually carry out a worthwhile ban on the import and use of shark fins, tiger parts and countless other bits of endangered species, there may be something to celebrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Sad isn't it that even a country like China could see the need for a ban on plastic bags and brought it in long before we did. As for any environmental issues affecting endangered species I am in agreement that something should be done by all countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
