I continually forget my plastic bags when i shop. They are on my counter at home or in the boot of my car. Sometimes i dont plan to shop, or swap cars with a family member and am left without bags - so am finding as i continually buy bags im left with huge amounts of plastic in my cupboard and less useful bags.

Supermarkets are trying to do the right thing by eliminating plastic bags, however by insisting people remember to bring their own bags, it is creating more plastic and heavier plastic in the environment. It also costs money which for people who are scraping by, it can become expensive and cumbersome to continually purchase bags.

SOLUTION: When we do have bags we often have one or two left over - donate these to a second hand bag box behind registers and get a token of the amount of bags youve donated. If you forget your bags or need more next time, use this token to access a second hand bag - SAVE MONEY SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT
