Reply #64: We have Green Bags in Australia

[Matilda]

like this one:




(You can get other colours, but they're always called Green Bags.)

It has been suggested that supermarkets and shops should charge a small fee for plastic bags, but while there hasn't been any great outcry about it, politicians have been slow to act.

We use green bags; they last for a couple of years before they start to tear, but we sometimes get plastic bags instead because we use them to carry out the cat's litter. We'd pay for them if we had to - say 10 or 20 cents each.
