Reusable Bags

You might know it that the latest craze in Singapore is getting the reusable bags to operational and take over the plastic bags era...

Recently read an article saying that the reusable bags are not as Eco- friendly as recycled bags. Although the government encourages Singaporeans to reduce the usage of plastic bags thus implementing them to use reusable bags... With the message by the National Environment Agency (NEA) regarding the usage of reusable bags, it created a demand and supply for it...
It started to produce reusable bags in large mumbers and created a mad rush for manufacturers to cash in on this trend... This in turn will cause an average shopper to have more reusable bags than needed...
Mariann Maes (Author), concerns are highlighted that NEA failed to remind the public that reusable bags means any bag they can find which are already at home... There is no need to buy reusables bags just to reduce the plastic bags... Why waste natural resources to produce extra bags?
Next is the issue that the reusable bags itself are not made by recycled materials. Why hasn't NEA capitalised this market trend to send this important message... (Using recycled products to reduce plastic bag usage- to the public)

I agreed with what the author says and really, you find it logical that why they fail to convey the right message to the public or has the public mistaken what they trying to voice out? Even so... they even want to capitalise this trend when the main motive is about 'Saving the world'. This is a problem faced by a capitalised society nowadays where individuals wants to maximise their own profits for their own....

'BOO' to reusable bags
