Saving the environment, how much can we do?

In Malaysia, every Saturday is a green shopping day which mean No Plastic Bag day. All shoppers will need to bring along a carry bag for their shopping stuff. If any shopper need a plastic bag, they will be charges 20cent each plastic bag.

I think it is a good idea and a new starting point to create awareness on using less plastic bag. But I also believe some supermarkets are taking this advantage to save cost.

IKEA is Going Green everyday, so most of the shoppers that used to shop there will bring along the blue IKEA shopping bag.  Thumbs up for IKEA!  As for supermarkets like Tesco, Coldstorage, Jusco and Carrefour are making it every Saturday as no Plastic Bag Day.
