A "bag for life" each and global warming is beaten

If the furore over plastic bags were to be believed the world can be saved from climate change by us all stopping using plastic bags. That's all we have to do, drive to the shops in our gas guzzlers and use a slightly thicker bag.

Let's ignore the fact the overuse of plastic bags is a litter issue.

Let's ignore the superflous packaging surrounding all the items in the bags and just focus on the bag.

Let's get the government to stick a tax on said plackie bags and proclaim they have solved all our problems whilst using the extra cash to fund some Nuclear Power!

At least it is easier for us to use a cloth bag for our shopping than to say, walk to the shops or actually do anything significant that might give us a shot of saving our sorry souls!
