Think this is a good idea.
Most people go in Tesco's to buy their meal deal.
Perhaps for once they are thinking ahead .Shock!!
3 items.
Put it in a plastic bag and it will be thrown down in the street as they get through the meal.
Paper one will be too, but at least they are a better biodegradable option than the plastic one.The more I live, the more I learn.

Maybe more people are concerned about the waste generated by carrier bags given out willy nilly, plus the enviromental implications(however much they are exaggerated they are)
While a healthy dose of scepticism is the order of the day in England. Yes, that seems quite possible.0 -
What makes you think that? Costa is part of Whitbread plc. Whitbread coughed up £82.1m in CT in it's last financial year. Are you confusing Costa with Starbucks?
Could be. The fact is I don't drink coffee, so have never been in these rip off shops.
