"I'm Not A Plastic Bag"

My sisters and I had gone a wee little crazy over this supposedly meant to be grocery bag known as "I'm Not A Plastic Bag". The bag emblazoned with "I'm not a plastic bag" has been designed by the "queen of bagland" Anya Hindmarch, based in London. The bag has been produced in partnership with We Are What We Do, a non-profit campaign group that has set out to change the world in small steps. And the aim of producing this bag is to encourage people not to use plastic bags.

Well, don't be mistaken for a moment that we are a family of environmentally friendly species. Kekeke... Though I personally try to be more "green" by bringing my own grocery bag when I shop at NTUC FairPrice, as well as not leaving the fridge open for more than 30 seconds, turning off whatever electrical appliances which are not in use, drawing my curtains to cool down my place, ... etc., I'm not exactly a Nazis for the green campaign. After all, who can claim they are when you stay in a high rise HDB apartment with a CRC (Central Rubbish Chute)??? I have 5 waste bins (including a diaper bin) in my 1,200+ sq feet apartment. Every one of them needs to be lined with a plastic bag, so that we can transport them to the CRC to be disposed off. So where do you think these plastic bags came from? Well, either I get them for free when I shop for grocery, or I buy them. The bottom line is, regardless of who bears the cost of these plastic bags, we're just not capable of being totally friendly to the environment. Period.

Uh-hmm... Okie, so why buy this "I'm Not A Plastic Bag" grocery bag? Especially when it cost more than S$40 and is nothing more than just a large sized canvas bag? Is it because it is designed by Anya Hindmarch? Well, partly, to be honest. But the main reason is - this decent looking, affordable and roomy bag is the ideal diaper bag or shopping bag for me. Another irresistible factor is the fact that it is not retailing in Singapore. Grâce à (thanks to) Online Shopping!
