11 - Reusable Shopping Bag

When we buy in a store, malls, or maybe in a supermarket we usually asked by the cashier if we really wanted to put our products in a plastic or in a Reusable bag/Recyclable bag. This plastic bag cost P1.00 for your products to be carried on. While the Reusable bag is for free. Why do you think they need to ask the customers even if they can put it in the plastic if they really wanted to and they will not ask for your permission anymore? What do you think? Technically, when you buy something and you pay for it. The plastic bag is already put on your list to pay for. It is counted on the VAT that was part of your receipt. Do the management observing if people are helping our Mother Earth? Did he was looking for those people who contribute to clean our environment or he was observing those who pay for the plastic bag? And those are the people who are not responsible to bring their own bag when shopping.  

Reusable bag also known as, "Bag for life" it is a type of shopping bag which can be reused many times; this is an alternative to single-use paper or plastic bags. It is often made from fabric such as canvas, woven synthetic fibres, or a thick plastic that is more durable than disposable plastic bags. 


Plastic bags (Plastic) the dirtiest thing on Earth. It is one thing that is popular in many countries. To be popular is not easy, right? A lot of organizations try to stop him from being a famous up until he gets people attracted by its used. We can see him everywhere; in the Market, in the Malls, in the Public transportation vehicle and even in the sea.

Look at the sea lion down there, are you still using plastic if you will know that they eat all the things you throw down like plastic that covers your food or anything that needs to put on it.

Plastic itself has its own HATERS! And this is from Makati City Hall. The Makati City government is now aiming to use paper bag instead of a plastic. Oh! Poor little plastic, Mayor Junjun Binay was not impressed on him. Another group of people which do not like Plastic itself: The Philippine Army. When you buy in a Commissary, the grocery store for the Soldier and for the Civilian employee of Philippine Army were push to bring their own bag. The management of that store will not let you in unless you had your own reusable bag. Plastic is not popular on them. So my dear bloggers! What I want to you to do is composed only six words: STOP USING PLASTIC! Go for Green! :)
