is it a good idea to pay for plastic bags? Ask a Question

Your already do pay, it is costed into the price of the purchase, now you will pay twice.

One of the Superstores in our area doesn't supply bags anymore.

Yea, point is to go green, as long as plastic bags are around, they are producing them, what is the difference. Give a discount to those that use their own green bags!

We have to pay for plastic bags in the grocery stores and I think it reduces the amount of plastic bags that need to be produced. Everyone I know avoids paying for them by using the same plastic bags every time they go shopping.

This helps the production of plastic being tossed into the environment. I too live in Germany now and I think it is a great idea that us Americans should incorporate into our daily shopping. One of the many things I admire about Germany!

i totally agree with that. it worked for me. A plastic bag costs me about 20 (euro)cents so thats like 30 dollar cents a day that would cost 1 euro (or 1.46 dollar a week) About 50 euro a year, you know what i could have done with all that money. I could like buy something, that costs about 50 euro Or I could save it and then a year later i would have got 100 euro. Yep would be nice. A 100 euro is about 150 dollar Only dreams can tell you what to do with that.

At the currency exchange--150 euro is about AU$250!

you should come on holiday here, or to New Zealand!

Yeah i'd be saving a whole lot of money coming to Australia. I think I will go right now. See you!!
