text: Bearing in mind the indestructability of plastic in land-fill sites and the effect on the environment, perhaps it's about time we did pay for plastic bags.  I tend to use the large re-usable Sainsbury's bags for supermarket shopping (Tesco's have caught on now and sell theirs for 75p), and I find them much easier to pack.  Not because I'm 'green' but because I have the smallest car on the market and whatever else it can do smartly, boot capacity wasn't high on the list.  But I can get two of those bags in with no problem, and that's usually all I need.\n\nWould I be happy to pay?  Not really; I'm on a fairly tight budget!
