Remember This?

Were They UK Shoppers Bags?

I recently posted on  betterRetailing about supermarket carrier bags following the publication of a report by the Environment Agency. It's an interesting report that makes some useful observations on which bags we should offer our customers including the flimsy 'single use' plastic bags.

Both on Saturday and Sunday just past the Mail polybagged their magazines. If this happened cross all regions that is around 4 million of these single use bags that real do only have just the one trip. Hum, this is from the newspaper that launched a big campaign against the supermarket carrier bag three years ago.

Of course the only reason why the Mail polybags is to include a multitude of third party advertising inserts. This weekend it was 6 items on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. The Sunday polybag also included several parts of the newspaper where as the Saturday bag just held the Weekend magazine.

So is the Mail for the environment or not?
