How are things going with the eco-friendly bags?

2009-02-17View Original

Thread Content

Since the policies were introduced last year, shopping malls of all sizes have started to charge for the provision of shopping bags. Now I would like to ask everyone: how is the situation in your area? Have there really been many fewer eco-friendly bags as a result? What impact does this have on environmental protection? Everyone is welcome to join the discussion!

Large supermarkets perform well, adhering strictly to the **requirements. It is said that the bags used by these small vendors were purchased, but no money was charged from the customers. The problem is that these shopping bags are still substandard products, made mostly from non-degradable and recycled materials. The positive effect on the environment is not very noticeable.

Large supermarkets also do this well, adhering strictly to the **requirements. The small vendors in the market are different; they hang eco-friendly bags there for those who come to inspect them, but the shopping bags they use are still substandard products, mostly made from non-degradable and recycled materials. The positive effect on the environment is not very noticeable. But some people have already started using eco-friendly bags; although the restrictions on plastic use are not thorough, they still have a certain effect.

The implementation here isn’t thorough enough; supermarkets are slightly better, but there are still many people who have to pay for bags, and there are way too many vendors in those markets! Not to mention those convenience stores! ! Fortunately, the bamboo baskets and cloth bags from ten years ago are available again! This post was last edited by hw197358 on 2009-2-17 21:16.]

It works in large shopping malls, but small stores don’t bother with such things. But everyone uses shopping bags these days, **so this measure is still effective.

The implementation isn’t very good; although it’s claimed to be a restriction, in practice one still has to pay to get plastic bags, which only provides a temporary solution rather than a permanent one

By using shopping bags, supermarkets made an extra profit

Although the use of plastic bags is restricted, since they are still quite cheap to buy, most people don’t care about it. Personally, I think plastic bags should not be provided; those who forget to bring their own bags can be offered reusable bags, so that people will gradually get used to carrying them.

It merely reduces the supermarket’s costs in a disguised manner

There are no useful policies! ! ! !

It turns out that we all used the shopping bags from the supermarket as trash bags, but now we have to buy trash bags separately. I’m not quite sure whether this leads to more or less environmental pollution. Also, I think the cost of shopping bags must already be included in the prices of goods at supermarkets. With the restriction on using shopping bags, do you think the prices of goods at supermarkets should be lower? :)Just my personal opinion :)

The two people upstairs should stop thinking about these things and instead figure out how to get them to use reusable bags; it’s best not to provide disposable plastic bags

Since there is currently a **mandatory ban on the widespread use of plastic bags**, large and small supermarkets in cities are complying well with this rule. However, the vendors in the street markets in cities are not following it as much; it’s still like Zhao Qiaor holding a lantern – only lighting up her own uncle. Of course, the mandatory implementation of environmental protection policies is a benefit for us all, but it also requires that we all raise our awareness. In particular, it is necessary to spread knowledge about environmental protection in rural areas, so that those people who usually don’t pay attention to such details can understand the harms of plastic bags. They are actually the ones who cause the most damage. Only when everyone realizes the dangers of using plastic bags will such mandatory policies no longer be necessary. Enforcing a ban on the use of plastic bags in daily life is a good thing, and it has already achieved decent results; to consolidate these achievements, we all need to make efforts.

We’re not doing a very good job at this. Previously, supermarkets provided shopping bags for free, and those bags were labeled as eco-friendly. Now, with the plastic restriction laws in place, it’s still the same old bags, but they come at a cost now. It’s frustrating that this has generated extra income for the supermarket. And there’s really no change in the market; when making purchases, merchants still provide various types of bags. I keep wondering – isn’t there a ban on plastic bags? How is it that their resources never run out? It seems that plastic bag manufacturers are still in production; I think it’s probably because people lack awareness and there isn’t enough enforcement. I remember that in the early 1990s, my parents still preferred to use cloth bags when shopping. By the late 1990s, people had become increasingly accustomed to the convenience provided by plastic bags, and now it’s impossible to ban them. It seems it will still take a long time.

At least more people are bringing their own bags to the supermarket! As long as he plays a certain role rather than just causing chaos, that’s fine! Let’s talk about a topic that shouldn’t be discussed: environmental problems are largely caused by our chemical industry. Under the current technological conditions, if we were to completely solve these problems, it would mean cutting off the livelihoods of those working in the chemical industry and those involved in environmental protection.

There are clearly fewer people asking for bags in supermarkets, but the number of substandard plastic bags in the market has not decreased at all. There is hardly any change in the countryside. Further action should be taken, or more effective measures implemented. I can’t think of any effective solution at the moment.

Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause; I think what’s needed is for everyone to raise their awareness and consciousness, and to use bags when shopping. I really understand this; sometimes I don’t intend to buy anything, but it gets sold anyway, and since there’s no place to put it, I have no choice but to buy a bag. I couldn’t help but join those who use bags! Therefore, developing the habit of bringing your own bags is the key to solving the problem at its root. Don’t all women like various types of bags? Just keep a shopping bag in your bag all the time, that’s it It’s mainly a matter of habit; the older generation used to carry various kinds of ‘baskets’ when going shopping, and they had very good habits.

Large supermarkets perform well, but they do not follow the **requirements strictly. Not to mention street vendors. The people on the 3rd floor said that Shijiazhuang is good, but I don’t think so; fruits are still sold in Baolongcang after all, and shopkeepers everywhere haven’t changed their original methods.

Any policy has its advantages and disadvantages: it raises people’s awareness of environmental protection and encourages them to develop the habit of bringing their own bags. However, it indirectly reduces the costs for supermarkets, and by using shopping bags, supermarkets can earn additional money as well

In small markets, people still use small bags; in large supermarkets, you have to pay to get bags
