Whenever I got into this situation, I always ask myself why I am still doing this.. and the answer is simple:
Inconvenience is the price I have to pay to save Mother Earth.
a very small price considering what it can do.
What situation? that I had to endure discriminating remarks and looks and lengthy discussion on why I want my merchandise to be placed on my ecobag rather than their plastic bags or brown paper bag. It’s the same mall again..
I bought some school supplies and when the cashier is about to place my items on brown paper bag, I refused. And he refused too! SOP lang po! amp! So I had to perform a monologue on why I use ecobags instead of plastic bags and brown paper bags. And they have no choice but NOT to place my items on their brown paper bag..
And again, I still don’t get it why they would offer eco bags (and sells it for 35 PhP) when in fact the use of it is discouraged.. o dapat ba pati sa ecobag brand conscious? kung anong mall ka bibili un din ang tatak ng ecobag mo? sakit sa bangs ha!
Yes, although brown paper bag is friendlier than plastic bags, we also say no to it. Ecobag is the friendliest..
And I hope funds will come in so I can make another batch of ecobag.. specially for Make or Break 🙂
