I try to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible, what irritates me is seeing how quick companies have caught on in being able to prey on people with the environment-bogeyman.
It's getting quite irritating shopping at (especially, high end clothing) stores and being asked, rather pointedly, on buying a re-usable bag for $2! If these companies were that concerned about the environment maybe they should be providing those $2 bags for free and hope that it increased awareness and maybe encouraged people to reuse the bag. I know it's only $2, but the way I see it, I pay the company $2 to buy a logo-ed plastic bag and walk around giving them publicity? For all I know, the company that desperately wants $2 for the bag is also going to have a board thinking that maybe the straps ought to be weaker so that they cant be reused as much!
