52 Weeks to Make the World a Better Place: Week 41 - Invest in a 'Bag for Life'
A very bad habit of vehicular supermarket shoppers (and that's an awful lot of people) is to pack the weekly shop into single-use free 'carrier bags' numbering into double figures. Some supermarkets offer a one-payment 'Bag for Life' that's somewhat stronger for multi-use purposes, and is replaced free of charge when it wears out. But if it doesn't, buy a sturdy canvas bag or three. Plastic carrier bags are becoming a particularly nasty source of environmental pollution, so a small outlay can make a big difference.

oh yes i know those bags. I have bought a bright pink one with a daisy on it and take it to the supermarket. However, my husband refuses to carry it. He insists on finding a blue one with a ship or something.
I'm sure that the word "unreconstructed" usually crops up in the description of such a person ;-) And it works the other way too: some of the females where I work expressed relief when I exchanged my pink flowery one for something a little more masculine...
