Over the years, I've heard and read that the government is trying to promote eco-friendliness in the country. The efforts are lame, to say the least, because most of it includes a politician trying to promote his or her good name, by planting a friggin' tree. One time and one time only. Lame.
I think people should just start with supermarket workers. Have you seen the way they pack your things when you shop? Stuffing the purchases into multiple plastic bags that, no doubt, costs very little. On days that I forget (hey, I am human) I tell them, 'No, here got more space. Put it here,' they look at me like, 'What?! You don't want more plastic bags?' like plastic bags are prized possessions and I must have a few bolts loose in the head for rejecting them.
They have really fancy, designer-like ones these days. Get them and stuff seven or eight of them into your car so that when you want to get something, you have those bags with you. Under the seat of my car, I must have like ten of them.
I think the groceries and hypermarkets should teach their workers to actually ask, 'Would you like us to pack it for you in a recyclable bag?' as the first alternative, or at least, use as few plastic bags as possible.
It's a gesture so small but if done collectively, we can really make a difference.
