Things have changed at our supermarkets !
Over a year ago, just about every customer was arriving with those ubiquitous green recycling bags and proudly doing their part to reduce plastic bag waste.
Now - they are a rarity ! Perhaps the odd customer here and there persevering with the crusade, and most likely the bags still exist - it's just that they don't make it into the store. They remain in the boot of the car - abandoned and forgotten as evidence of our short attention span.
If asked, we will still insist that we have a ecology conscience. We care about the planet. We have switched to low energy light globes. We save water and don't hose paths anymore !
And the people who shop at Aldi manage to remember to take their own containers - but then they have to because Aldi charge for bags - and our short attention span kicks in anytime failure to do so costs us money !
Which raises that interesting question. Would we again start using those green canvas bags if all the grocery shops stopped putting our purchases in free throw away plastic ?
It seems that it all revolves around a single issue.
Yes we will ! If our hip pocket or purse connects with our memory !
