In a few words
Say no to plastic bags
For the past few years I have kept a few reusable string bags in my handbag, thus eliminating the need to be given yet more plastic bags to eventually throw away. It’s just a simple thing, yet we can all make such a difference with this simple change in our habits.
Say no thanks when salespeople offer you packaging, and look impressive as you whip out that string bag.

Biodegradable choice
I’ve just been to the Fresh Choice supermarket in Parklands, and my plastic bags say they are biodegradable. Information written on the bag tells you can also access it from www.eptech.co.nz. Liz O’Callaghan Burwood
