We have the same thing in South Africa unfortunately - first thing you get asked at the checkout point is 'how many bags'. At least I'm trying to do my part by using actual recycled bags (or supposedly recycled) over and over again. I only last month bought new ones again after the previous ones which lasted just over a year finally tore beyond repair. The 'worst' thing I've done though, was walk into a store, bought what I needed and loaded it all into a large gym bag - you can't believe how people stare. We have to try and do more even if people gawk at you as though you are crazy. I read an article this morning with the headline: 'Humans – 0.01% of life on Earth – have destroyed 83% of wild mammals' - although this has more to do with dietary choices however, still just as shocking. We as a species are destined to destroy ourselves.
