Screw this! I need plastic bags everytime i go surfing just to help me slide on my wettie easier! The E-bomb 2 is quite tight, kinda like climbing into a wet arse and a plastic bag jsut helps relieve the pain.

Anyway, those green meshy bags you can buy at Coles and the like are better. They don't break all over the fucking place and spill your shit.
Thats true, for a trolley of shopping that would take 30 plastic bags can take only 10 green bags. Thats provided that customers bring the ones designed for the racks. Otherwise they're horrible to pack.

Also, someone on Sunrise this morning suggested that people use laundry baskets for their shopping. Thats also a decent idea, if you want to have two or three in your trolley while doing your shopping.

Clearly, little man, you have never been to a supermarket. Or worked on checkouts. I remember a lot of customers bringing boxes or laundry boxes or tupperware containers for me to pack their groceries into.

I'd love for this to be implemented. The only problem I thought of immediately was when people buy meat. Some of the packaged meat is absolutely dripping with blood and euwy stuff and the only real place for them is in a plastic bag. Oh the travesty that will cause when their green bag becomes stained...

And I'd like to put my hand up as one of the families that reuses plastic bags for their garbage bins. I always thought that was commonsense, although the posts of others have convinced me otherwise...

actually, that IS a good idea...more or less

the other one is, at my store, in an average liquor load we'll get about 100-150 cardboard boxes which things have been packed into, isnt that a good alternative?

P.S. we reuse the bags too, for the smaller bins, that being said, thats why a levy is good, you could get SOME plastic bags, but not all the time

Kevin Rudd doesn't care about Australian working families who are already feeling the squeeze of the growing cost of living and have enough trouble balancing their budgets without a new levy on what should be their right to plastic bags.

What sort of a cheap family uses their used grocery bags on a regular basis to fill their rubbish bins? At my place we usually keep some, use some to pick up little bits of rubbish we've collected while putting the other food away, the rest just get thrown in the bin and un-used for anything more than the transportation from the store to our home.
I use the few shopping bags we get to empty the kitty litter into.

Saves using a garbage bag.

I hate packing green bags. Its not so bad when the bags being used are meant to fit the racks, but otherwise its horrible. You have to use one hand to hold the bag, another to fit the products in. That means that it takes so much longer to scan the items thru. I'm honestly not a fan of Green Bags, I'd prefer to pack a cardboard box or a laundry basket.
