09.19Help us do our bit for the environment
Avast, me hearties! (Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day)
I just went up to our local supermarket to buy a couple of things. There was a sign about bringing re-usable bags to help them “do their bit for the environment”. I don’t like these signs. Not because I feel guily for not bringing re-usable bags, but that the intention of the sign is to make me feel guilty. We recycle stuff. We have 3 bins to help. But the problem is that for general rubbish you are supposed to put it into bags and not straight into the bin. This means I would have to start buying gargbage bags instead of using the free ones they give me at the checkout. Maybe this is all a ploy by the garbage bag companies to make more sales??
What do you think?
If you don’t have any thoughts on this topic - post your best Pirate Jokes in the comments…
Don’t try and make any link between this post and the picture of my favourite (and only) apron… it’s random and a bit postmodern.
Why do scuba divers jump backwards out of a boat?
Because if they jumped forwards, they’d still be in the boat!

I have exactly the same problem at the supermarket - we use those plastic bags for our garbage, rather than buy garbage bags too.

You have to put your general rubbish into plastic bags before you put it into the bin?? What kind of crazy council do you live in?
