I have an aquaintance who has a small retaill business. She supplies reusable shopping bags, emblazoned with her business name, for her customers purchases. She tells me the bags cost her business 34 cents each. Similar bags in Coles, Woolies and other places are for sale at about a dollar each. Seems that being an environmentally aware business can be a good money spinner

We use the plastic bags in our kitchen tidy and also the bathroom tidy, also handy for packing shoes and dirty washing when travelling. If we didnt have these plastic bags we would be forced to either buy plastic garbage bags, more money for the supermarkets, or else put our garbage in the bin without being bagged. SO can anyone tell me what the difference is between using plastic bags for our garbage or buying plastic garbage bags. Thats right, NO DIFFERENCE, just more money in someones pocket.
