Plastic-bag-free days and other good ideas

I really do hope this impetus doesn’t fizzle out. I seem to remember we had a few “bag-free days” a couple of years ago?
Will July 4 show a return to issuing plastic bags, I wonder?

The free bags I get are used to line the bin. If I don’t use the free bags, I will have to buy bin liners.

People are going to freak out! I had a recent experience on a small order at checkout. I had a bottle of bleach and some food. I asked the guy to not put the bottle of bleach in a separate bag from the food. He looked like he was going to have a stroke. He then shook his head in disgust and separately bagged the bleach.

Some suggestions: Make something trendy/ fashionable and people will follow. Make it “cool” to be environmentally conscious by using pop stars, film stars etc. Give out the first eco-friendly bag for free and make it easy to carry and fashionable. 
Turn up at your 7-Eleven without one and you can buy a new one for Bt49 and instead of giving stamps to collect and cash in against products based on how much you spend. Give out the stamps for every time you use the bag. 
Maybe 50 stamps would mean a new bag saying “I recycle ... Do you?” – with a picture of someone or something trendy on it. Have a catchy slogan endorsed by some current icon and upgrade the system so people get a better bag the more it’s used. The old bags can be dropped in a bin to be recycled. Make it so everybody wants to do it.

It is a start! But if it can be done for one day, it can be done every day. When I was a lad, we took our own bags, small string bags that fit in a pocket but expanded as filled. They lasted for years! Take your own bags.
