RE: 7-11 to stop giving free plastic bags in Thailand

in #news4 years ago

I am kind of on the fence about this one. I do agree that we consume too much plastic and a lot of it ends up in places that it shouldn't. As a responsible dog owner, I would be in a bad place if I didn't have these spare plastic bags to put my dogs business in. When my wife and I go shopping we have reusable bags that we always take with us. Every now and then we bypass them so we can build our stash of plastic bags. We keep a bunch of them in each of our vehicles and our travel trailer so that we can pick up our dogs poop instead of just leaving it laying around like some people do. Fun fact, my mom and sister just recently started taking leftover bags and knitting them into sleeping mats and handbags for homeless people and those living in underprivileged countries. It is amazing what you can do with some things. If I remember right, it took quite a few bags to make just one sleeping mat, but the feedback she got from them was amazing. On a sad note, people were actually attacking other people and stealing their handbags made out of plastic bags because they were so desired!

yeah, i use all the plastic bags i end up with for the same reason.
