Plastic Bags & recycling

Firstly - I recommend going to The Green and Plastic Bag Conspiracy and having a read! It is an old post, but says it all without me having to regurgitate, and I could never say it as well as he does anyway.

I'd also recommend a read of Will My Plastic Bag Still Be Here in 2507?

Also, from choice online - Are polypropylene bags really greener?

And, lastly ...  Paper Bags vs Plastic  & Myth: Biodegradable Bags are the Solution

So, now you know the reason why I don't buy recycling bags from coles or other places - and only use them if they have been gifted to me.
