Plastic Bags (1 Viewer)

Franklins used to had flattened cardboard boxes where you would just set it up and put ur stuff in there.

I remembered it was quite fun, but then again it wasn't a busy supermarket so we can take our time.

The downside is we had a much larger pile of cardboards in our recycling bins almost overflowing.

Half the time Coles' checkout chicks don't abide by the two item policy anyway.

Comeon the stat is that a miniscule 1% of bags wind up as pollution. 1% it really doesnt get any more miniscule than that. But to try and stop this 1% we are going to charge for the 100%, can anyone say: 'blunt instrument'?

Hmm..
I dont understand how is banning plastic bags - environmentally friendly? Firstly the uses of plastic bags are countless?

Secondly i think most people use these bags to dump their rubbish in. so we infact in a sence recycling to some extent. Suppose we ban these bags (with main purpose of discouragaing the use of these bags) then where will be put our grabage.

If you are going to buy a garbages bag - those big black ones then that defeats the purpose.

because how many small plastic bag make one big black garbage bag? they are both made of plastic? i dont think they are biodegradable? and i am sure making one big black garbage is more environmentally than to make a few 100 plastic bags.

if only i could prove this..

have at look at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bags

the only option i see is to go biodegradable - but its rather expensive i believe at the moment.

Pigeon faecate everywhere destroying limestone structures and monuments, carry disease and are fed by the homeless when they should be feeding themselves. They are a plague and the only use they have is removal of any decomposable garbage and to shoot at with guns, pellet guns and BB guns and a range of other weapons purely for amusement.
