In a bid to encourage more of us to re-use more environmentally-friendly bags, Sainsbury's are banning the disposable carrier bags (of which they get through 1.6 billion a year) for a day, and instead will be handing out "Bags for Life" - normally 10p each - to customers.
Click on the picture to read more about it... and then tell us what you think... Why just one day? Will it work? Do you/your family already use re-useable bags?
On Wednesday next week, Sainsbury's will also be selling the much sought-after "I'm Not A Plastic Bag" bags, designed by Anya Hindmarch. Find out how to get your hands on one here.

When we went to Sainsbury's that Friday night we were given 'A bag for life' In a disposable plastic bag! :D What a hoot! We use the 'bags for life' they are much better than the disposable ones and we save the environment at the same time!! :D
That's good to hear Kayleigh! (You didn't see any geography teachers walking into automatic doors that hadn't opened properly on that visit did you?!) My "bag for life" (that I paid for!) didn't last very long though... The jute bags they gave away with their organic produce a while back were good...
I was rather upset not to get one of the Anya Hindmarch bags though... (on my birthday as well...) Not seen Mr Picker using his yet!!!
