TracyG is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Carrier bags

I use the free supermarket carrier bags as liners for my kitchen bin and to pick up dog poo. Supermarkets are getting very reluctant to give the free carrier bags these days and I understand this is all for the sake of the planet. I just can't see that it's of benefit to me or the planet if I use my reusable shopping bag but then have to buy bin liners and dog poo bags.

I do the same as you Tracy (well, at least I don't have a dog), but to be fair many people just throw the bags straight out without reusing them in some form, I see it all the time.
