Following the trend

Over here in Shenzen, most of the major shopping mall do not provide plastic bag unless upon request and they charge. That is a good sign. This big country really should have started this years ago. Imagine there are millions of people going into the mall to buy things and yet everyone bring back one plastic bag!
Major supermarket like Wall-Mart and branded departmental store are joining the environmental friendly action. Since they charge for plastic bags, most of the Chinese are bringing their own recycle bag. Most of them take it without complain.
In Hong Kong they are already in that direction, charging for plastic bag. I would love to see our county doing this rather than encouraging people using plastic bag which really do not decompose.
I’ve got a chance to shop last night in the Flower City Garden, a major shopping mall here in Shekou. Got myself some end of season sale clothes. A fruitful trip for me. After that we went into B&Q to check out some facet, sink and lights. Not that I’m going to renovate my house yet, just that it is good to know the price difference, however they don’t have much modern furniture there, else we would have spent more time in there.
It is more like a DIY shop with lots of things to choose from, wish there is one like this back home.
Talking about home, we are going home today, hoping for a smooth ride.
