I find it interesting that the government is suggesting we dispose of using plastic bags. Great idea. Now you go to any store and ask for a pack of paper bags to purchase. No way.

You can still buy rolls of plastic bags, even snap locks but trying to buy paper bags in bulk is a no-no.

I asked one major supermarket ‘why?' and they were told they were not allowed to sell them unless it's at the counter for purchases.

How ridiculous.
