There's all sorts of rubbish about saving the environment.
Fun fact: it's worse for the environment recycling paper than throwing it away. Paper is almost always made using sustainable forests where they plant trees for every one they cut down and this uses a lot less energy than collecting, washing, processing paper to make low grade recycled paper. Paper is biodegradable to so it's one of the least bad things to have in landfill.

Would be more useful to go back to glass bottles or cardboard cartons than having these horrid plastic bottles for milk.
But anyway, I often have to repeat myself numerous times to certain shops around here that I don't want a bag for my one or two items thanks. Apparently I have 2 heads and have just landed from outer space. Unlike my housemate who turned up home with a full size carrier bag containing 2 packs of fags and a pint of milk.
