Use less plastic with Tescos!

I recently saw a Tesco advert on TV informing the public on the importance of using fewer carrier bags. I looked it up on their website to find out more and it says that every time you reuse a carrier bag they will give you a green club card point, of which can be used like any other. I don’t know how many people will actually care about the points they get, especially as it is only one per bag you reuse, and you have to take the carrier bags back to the shop with you which can b a bit of a pain. However I feel that it is a great way of not only getting people involved in helping the environment, but it also shows awareness on the importance of using less materials like plastic. People are more likely to make the effort to take their bags back to the shop to be reused now they are getting something out of it.

Hopefully it may make people think twice about using needless carriers in all supermarkets. I must say, it makes we sick when I see people using more carrier bags than what is needed, and I hate it when I don’t see people making use of the recycling scheme that have been introduced into households, especially as I feel there is no excuse with all the awareness that is around us.

I agree...thats why i love the bags like Top shop and Primark make - they are great shopping bags and very stylish...I reckon the way to do it though is to make plastic bags naff...and they are off to a good start...they are allready naff...so X who is fasionable but needs to purchase from a food emporium won't be caught dead carrying an ugly plastic bag with an ugly advertising logo on it saying...I am Naff...

btw Somerfield is pretty good... strangely they have had recycled bags and a recycling bag area as well as 100% degradable bags ages before Tesco.
