Poll: What do you think about supermarkets selling "reusable" plastic bags?

Gary Farrow Reporter from Hamilton Press

Kia ora, neighbours! It's Plastic Free July, and many of you will be trying to nullify your plastic waste output this month in the interests of our environment. Some supermarkets are now selling "reusable" plastic bags, rather than single-use plastic bags, to put your groceries in. Nonetheless, they will still eventually deteriorate into plastic waste. What do you think of this? Vote in the poll and we'd love to hear some of your comments too.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
