Paper bags are a different category! Its more beautiful than plastic bags!

Zhiqiang

Why throw? You can use it to stuff more plastic bags in :-P

Teeshah

Hahaha, yes it can be, isn’t it?

But there were so many plastic bags that day that it took about an hour. I was more bored than relaxed :-p

haha.. the clutter of plastic bags reminded me of my life back in sweden 3 years ago when the notion of 3-Rs (recycle, reuse, reduce) was very strong and i saved every plastic/paper bag i received.. cos’ it cost abt S$0.50 – S$1 for one in supermarkets..

now i just take and throw.. habits die hard :-)

Hi Rinaz!!! :p
I liked it that you keep all the plastic bags, cos I do that too.. I keep paper bags too! Hhaha! I think its like a clutter monster for my case too, but I can’t bear to throw those paper bags away, cos I think its too wasteful!

I should be thankful that we usually do not have to pay for plastic bags (other than IKEA). But then again, many of us take this for granted.

Have a great weekend! ^__^

Oh! Now that you’ve mentioned it, yes! We have to put the articles in the plastic bags ourselves! Cashiers in Italy sure have it (slightly easier) … hehehe

Miza

Um … recycle it? Really no point in keeping so much right? Since the numbers are going to multiply anyways :-P

Anyway, who would read my book if I published it? Which publisher will want me? :-P

But nevermind lah, let me day dream with the title first ok? “Where is my Nasi Lemak?! – The exciting(!) journal of a Singaporean Girl in Rome”

TOC

Ironically, that makes people feel even more attached to their plastic bags, hahaha, hence, all the clutter! I don’t like seeing clutter … its such an eye sore.

But no matter, to what I know of, the Bring Your Own Bag campaign has been going on once a month in the bigger franchise supermarkets like Fairprice, Liberty, Carrefour, Shen Shiong and others.

The last I heard was that there were discussions for the BYOB day to be more frequent rather than once a month. I wonder what happened to that.
