It's been a while since the supermarkets etc have been charging us for carrier bags , has anyone heard of any charity that has benefitted from this charge being passed on , well that what the supermarkets told us they would do ......................or have they just kept the profit surprised

It is if you buy bio-degradable ones.

Fair comment, but even the smaller quantity of biodegradable ones require energy and materials when being manufactured in the first place!

It's a bit like singing the environmental praises of electric or hybrid cars...........the electricity has to be produced somewhere. It's just that the nuclear contamination and coal or gas toxins are less concentrated in our high streets. A sort of NIMBY experience.

I have several 'lifetime' bags from SuperU. Nice memento of sunny France, too wink
