Ichay, the pioneer of the luntiag bags, is getting the necessary media coverage to spread her cause and that's good. Your suggestion of approaching local supermarket owners about <em>going green</em> with the shopping bags is a great idea. Maybe we can do it through local service organizations like the Rotary Clubs and other NGOs. Meanwhile, I will continue to patronize grocery stores that welcome my reusable bag - let's vote for the environment with our money! :-) Thanks, Manong!

Here in Sydney, major grocery shops actually sell 'green' bags for a dollar at the check-out counter so people who dont want to use plastics have a choice. The good thing about this 'green' bag is, it's re-usable. You can bring it with you next time you go to the shops. Maybe the you can propose to the manufacturer of your 'green' bag to approach the local supermarkets there and supply them with an alternative bag. Once people start seeing other people using it, this will instill curiosity and awareness. That's how I started using the 'green' bag myself. Hi Lani,
