Most of us will throw them in the bin right away. Unless you use them to wrap kacang putih. Sometimes I really wonder who is behind these ideas,” one netizen said. Another individual in a separate post wondered if the instructions could be sent through SMS or email instead of printing multiple copies as this was a “big wastage of printing and postage cost ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ministar say one 🫣🤓 I also realise that supermarkets have started to use plain non logo branded bags. Presumably to avoid being seen as contributing to plastic waste. Hmmm.... Cotton Wool Is a material where cotton is fed to sheep.... 🤣 And the wool derive is sheep cotton wool 😅.... Is definitely less sustainable going though so much more processes in the product value chain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator February 7, 2023 Share February 7, 2023 @Blueray @Ender @Theoldjaffa @SGMCF328 @Cheesey74 confirm no point deduction for giving angry reaction. You can test it on those post by me. Heh try it in the COE thread lah, this week damn quiet leh... Back to the topic on charging for plastic bag, I am not supportive because there no alternative for consumers. Use Philippines and Hong Kong as example, you need to pay for plastic bag but free for paper bag (disclaimer: my last visit to these 2 places were easily 5 years ago, so things might have change) I normally will try not to use plastic bag (and those disposable cutlery) if I don't need them, but do get unfriendly stares from the cashier / seller or even customers in the queue occasionally. So I think the first steps should be educating the front line personnel and general public not to waste plastic bag and 'monitor the situation' (the Forte of the incumbent isn't it) before charging consumers for it. 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic February 8, 2023 Share February 8, 2023 (edited) One fast food stop providing straws. All my used cars used to come with a full tank of petrol Now I am taking it all out and leaving only 1 litre of petrol inside. You have to drive 2 miles to the nearest petrol station. jamesc used cars has gone green. Straws are bad for the environment and burning petrol is also bad right?
