The amount of plastic shopping bags around here is a bloody mess and I for one stopped using them back in October last year and never looked back, I bought some nice fold away bags for 69p each and they are great. There is no excuse for using plastic bags now, they split and dig into your fingers which for me is no more.

And yes they are causing harm to the environment.
