hi, how are you doing without plastic bags?
the no free plastic bags policy has been effective for this year.
how do you find your life to be with the new policy?
has it become a lot more inconvenient?
or have you found some easy solutions?
what is your suggestion to prefect th eplastic bag policy?
what do you want to say on world environemnt day?
habit is a second nature
i have not gone shoping in supermarkets since hte new policy started into effect
however i met with embarrassment when buyiing referrence boooks in a bookstore
where i ahd not thought it would execute this policy as well
i bought a pile of thick books and got no container at last
i will bear this in my mind
in despite a of inconvenience
i do think we will get used to it as time goes by
such good habit is wuite important to us to live a better life in the long run
since we have been offered with free plastic bags for such a long time
it is difficult for me to get used to the new policy
i went shopping as usual
when i was approaching the checking out counter
i suddenly realized i had forgetten to bring a shopping bag with me
since i could not carry so many things with my hands
i had to buy aplastic bag at 20 cents
i felt shameful and guilty at that moment
i told myself again and again not to forget to bring an environmentally friendly shopping bag with me next time
now i always keep a shoping bag in my purse
whenever i do shopping
i can use it instead of plastic bags
i am not used to it
when i wentt to shopping as useful
i found the notice in supermarket no free plastic bag will be provided and the price list for different size of plastic bag
i did not understand that why our governemnt did not forbidden the plastic bag
but required customers to buy one although it is very unconveneint for us
the policy is from good point and need improvement and efforts of all the people

My government also passed a similar order about one year back. But in practice we are all still using plastic bags a lot. Mainly business persons find them cost effective and convenient.
As for myself I use lots of plastic bags, cant avoid using them as no one here provides alternative.

I didn't even realize an order like this was passed. I don't think my country/state is doing it.. and although a good idea, I find I actually try to recycle the plastic bags unlike a lot of other things.. once they're home from the grocery store I find many uses for them.

It's very unconvient at first when we can't use plastic bag freely. Later I buy some shopping bags, everytime I go shoping I will take one or two with me. I am used to it now. It's ok and good for our environment. I think it's a good policy. We should support it.
