Or can also lead to more abortions or broken families, e.g. fatherless families, or more people contacting STDs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

currypuff 5th Gear September 25, 2017 Share September 25, 2017 i hope the 4 supermarkets declare the number of plastic bags they gave out each month. Once that is done and we find them excessive, we will now ask them to donate the moneybsaved monthly from buying plastic bags to charity organizations. dont just pocket the saving plus the new charges and make this another business model. no wonder they are so champion on environment suddenly. They will either say:a) with the reduction in cost, we can now pass the savings to consumers by not increasing some of the necessary products... b) although there are some cost savings, it is not substantial enough. With the cost increase in other areas like manpower, supplier cost, utilities, etc... We are doing our best not to pass these cost to consumers... Bla... Bla... Bla...

Beehive3783 Turbocharged September 26, 2017 Share September 26, 2017 Well, no such sorting bins in our estates. Nothing much most of us can do. In Beijing, plastic bag needs to pay money. In apartment i stayed, there is 2 bin. 1 is for food (including whatever u need to pour in sewage) and 1 for others. In other major cities, gabbage is supposed to be sorted out into difference bins. Most of us are not there yet. You're right, it's just a ploy to milk more money from us. They would have factored in cost of plastic bags into their operating costs and final product retail prices. Now they want to charge extra for bags? If grocery prices come down because they stop supplying bags, then I'm all for it. But if they want to charge extra for bags and grocery prices don't go down, then screw them. Does plastic bag cost supermart a lot of money ? Instead of thinking about charging, why not they give a discount to those who bring their own bags ? 5c, 10c, if they think those plastic bags are worth to them. But of cuz not, that's not the way to do business. It's all about money. Environment is always an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged September 26, 2017 Share September 26, 2017 Ironically, you can buy small trash bags (100pcs/pack?) from supermarkets. Or SKP. Me also looking for alternatives..Any suggestions? Good idea. But the smell from raw waste... are you sure you want to reuse that plastic bag? Put all your rubbish into your house bin plastic bag, then bring the bag to the refuse chute, step on the chute pedal, pour out all the rubbish into the chute, bring back your plastic bag home and reuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH1667 Hypersonic September 26, 2017 Share September 26, 2017 If the government is really concern about environmental friendliness, they should start from within the ministries and stats boards. recent example like the ' Safe driver ' letter, how much paper, postage fee and man-hour can be saved if they send one to each household ( just add names of the drivers )? how about banning distribution of flyers? especially those that just throw on your door step and onto your car windscreen ? and unnecessary upgrade in the neighborhood area, why dig up a perfectly good walk way, and than re-cement again ? etc etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
