Living In Ipoh, green shopping hasn't exactly caught on yet but I know that a major shopping center has already stipulated one day a month as Green Shopping Day where plastic bags will not be dispensed as usual. Shoppers are expected to bring their own shopping bags or carton boxes for heavy shoppers.
I am not a heavy shopper so I am trying to do my bit for the environment by declining the use of plastic bags even when it is not "No Plastic Bag Day" or even when I have forgotten to take along my own shopping bag.
I know that it is not enough that only one person doing so but I believe that given time and education, all of us will be able to adapt to shopping with our own reusable shopping bags. I have always thought that using new plastic bags is a waste, anyway.
