    hey Caveman, not bashing you here....

    I think the plastic bag charge is actually a very positive thing. Obviously people would rather get them for free, but I can tell you that I lived in America for many years and people there generate so much more waste with plastic bags than we do here.

    Any policy that helps the environment and does not inconvenience people too much is a good thing in my opinion.

    Changing a name on an airline flight is a complete rip-off. Perhaps someone in the know could enlighten me, but it not just a matter or overwriting the original name on a computer with the new name?

    :rolleyes:

    You have to take into account the price of the ink, the pain and suffering of the airline CEO, the electricity for those computer's CPU cycles, the tax on the electricity for those computer's CPU cycles, the heating and lighting for the guy the airline had to hire just to type in your name again. It goes on and on.

    And it's not a rip-off unless you're forced to pay for it, and it's illegal, and the day is a Tuesday.

    Dear God, won't anybody think of the poor airlines!

    It helps the environment for sure but everything you put inside your reusable bag has plastic wrapping.. I don't think the overall of less plastic carrier bags is as great as people imagine.
