Plastique!

So let me get this straight. I go to the grocery store and buy half a kilo of sliced ham wrapped in plastic, a loaf of bread in plastic, 3 litres of milk in a plastic container, a pack of toilet paper wrapped in plastic, a Greek salad in a plastic container, a plastic bottle of mustard, and a plastic bottle of tomato sauce, and they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because plastic bags are bad for the environment?

I agree - let's use more glass bottles and recycle them like we used to. My Mum always said that recycling wasn't new - when she was younger you recycled every type of bottle possible, saved things like brown wrapping paper and string and reused them, always had shoes resoled etc.
