  • I am irish and while i think the no plastic bag law has been greatly recieved, the problem is that many big stores still what you to be a walking advertisement, when you purchase something from their store. so what many of them offer (or rather hand you), is a high glossy paper bag. when you consider that a regular brown paper bag takes 15time more energy to produce (i acknowledge that this is only one stage of the lifecylce), however considering this production energy you can imagine the energy and enviromental costs of these high gloss/high print paper. my central point then i guess is: the tax levy on plastic bags may be good, however this paper bag adoption is tainted. it gives the irish consumers a get out of jail free card. tighter legislation needs to be inplaced before anyone gets a pat on the back. slainte
