Week 19: I resolve to support a ban on single use plastic checkout bags.
Date: 13-May-09
By finding alternatives to single use plastic check out bags I can save the energy and resources it takes to make them and prevent problems associated with plastic bags like littering and endangering wildlife. I can keep a ‘green bag’, back pack, tote bag, cardboard box, or any other durable, reusable carry-all handy for my shopping.
I can also sign a petition to encourage our Environment Ministers to follow the South Australian lead and ban plastic checkout bags around Australia. Go to: plasticbags.planetark.org/petition
