About those bags...

Single use plastic bags were banned in Melbourne a little while ago.

A handful of people kicked up a bit of fuss at the time.

But these days shoppers are used to bringing their own bags.

Apparently this is not the case in Canada.

So Vancouver store East West Market has introduced these cheeky bags to embarress people into not using plastic.

It's a terrific idea. Although I have to confess I'd love to get my hands on some of these bags!
