Here shops had started charging for plastic bags a couple of years ago, and a big drive was made for the use of cotton bags. Now that has all been forgotten, it seems, though a few people (even I!) still use fabric ones. But as you said, in shops they are sometimes awfully quick in forcing a new plastic bag on you!!<BR/><BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-11148124018329365542007-09-15T16:52:00.000+08:002007-09-15T16:52:00.000+08:00Nice photo and interesting words.
