Plastic Poison?
28 February 2008
It’s been reported today that Marks and Spencer will be charging customers for their plastic bags in the food department. There’s some debate about the fairness of this, but I say good on them! We see plastic carrier bags dished out too freely in my opinion.
I got on my soap box about this not too long ago. I was so fed up of having my nan’s shopping shoved in to the damn things when I took her shopping despite us having our own reusable bags. I know that the checkout staff were trying to be helpful, but I didn’t and don’t want their bags! I had to ask them each week to stop as we had our own bags and I felt ungrateful and rude in doing this. I didn’t mean to be either, but nor did I want 5 or 6 Asda bags. So I wrote to them and they replied saying that they do attempt to encourage customers to recycle; this wasn’t apparent as each week bags were ripped off the stand for me to use, but in fairness since the complaint it isn’t quite so bad. Double this with my nan announcing the very next week that she was getting short of plastic bags so could I use some to pack her shopping! She’s nearly 86, so I feel that trying to convert her into an eco-warrior might not be successful, but I did try!
Seriously though, I hope more supermarkets follow M&S’s lead. If there was a price to pay for the bags I’m sure that it would encourage more people to reuse them or buy the ‘bags for life’ that I think most supermarkets have . Something has to be done to stop the landfills being filled with the reported 13 million plastic bags a year that we currently use.

I spend quite a lot of time on here editing and writing articles. When I’m not here I’m being Jim’s PA; a tongue in cheek job title, which Jim once used when I’d made a venue booking for the Company’s Christmas do! In reality I am a buyer ie I search for the best deal for company purchases, secretary ie I answer the phone and take messages and I keep our websites up to date ie I do what I originally said I did; sit here typing! In my spare time I do the cooking, cleaning etc and all that’s required to keep this house ticking over.
I do have a lot of quiet time and it’s during this time that I get to muse over things; things to do or things in the news or just generally random thoughts. Hoovering this morning I had the idea to add my ramblings to Our Little Shop, so here it is… Read more
