Give incentive to cusomers who don't want plastic bags
-
I suggest supermarkets give discount (5 or 10 cents for each bag) to customers who don't want plastic bags.Probably less than 10% of customers would be so 'green' conscious.
-
good idea.. keep it up.. but i think 5-10% is alot.. why not %1.. cos like that so that the shop wont lose money
-
5 - 10 cents not 5 - 10%. By the way, good idea.Originally posted by manyu882:good idea.. keep it up.. but i think 5-10% is alot.. why not %1

If buy lots of things leh?
Now so bo eng, people always buy one week's grocery at a time. Also those CNY barang barang leh? Must give leeway one mah. -
why do you have to be paid to be environmentally conscious?
You want to help the environment then you help. If you dont want to, it's your choice. Dont demand: hey PAY me to help the environment.
Anyway, plastic bags are okay as long as you make full use of the bag before you throw it away. IE use it to throw away daily rubbish/kitchen sludge. Not throw empty bag into the chute.
By the way the cost of the bag is less than 1cent each. -
Plastic bags are non bio- degradable. I think in bigger countries they are more conscious of the waste generated. Sometimes i look at the way Singaporeans use plastic bags, its so wasteful.
Instead of rewarding the people i think they should give the first plastic bag free and charge people 5 cent for each additional plastic bag. -
i wan free blowjob.

If the cost of a plastic bag is really just 1 cent (bigger one should be more than 1 cent),then just reduce the bill by 1 cent. -
CM06,
I believe to give incentive to ppl who are environmentally concious is not wrong.The purpose is to make more ppl less selfish & enviornmentally concious. -
environment friendly? the government should be the first to make the move and set an example to follow. like can use NTUC for starters. even hybrid cars are more expensive!
then if no bag then how? 2 hands how to carry? later people bring home the baskets and trolleys. the bags can use to store rubbish at home later also
and, if never take plastic bag, later security guard accuse you stealing...
singapore so small, not much difference it makes also.. -
Old issue!!!
I think I can give S$100 per posting here!!!!! -
give incentive like 7% off for the things u buy? anw, this mtd wont work cauz its too troublesome. unless someone starts a trend

When i was in Sweden, you pay for every plastic bag you take from the supermarket. As a result, most people bring their own cloths bags instead. Makes sense.

I wonder whether majoirty of S'porean would bring their own bag to supremart if such a scheme was implemented.Originally posted by blueheeler:When i was in Sweden, you pay for every plastic bag you take from the supermarket.

If people are really green conscious, they shouldn't be consuming so much or driving. Plastic bags only make up a small percentage of total rubbish generated per household. Sometimes, I think "green efforts" are barking up the wrong tree.
From the business angle, I don't think seeking discounts for using less plastic bags will change consumer behaviour. However, businesses may take to the idea of using a "green" excuse to charge $0.10 per bag and thus make more money. -

I believe quite a large naumber of shopper would bring their own plastic bag if my idea was implemented.It has been implemented in a city of USA. -
The supermarkets are going to charge customers for the price of balstic bags on the first Wednesday of each month.I believe the proposal should change to once every 2 weeks.
-
last time in Sudney, the super markets allow us to use those cupboard box (the carton boxes that was used to contains goods from warehouse to the supermarket type) instead of plastic bags...
-
Its easy as hell to suggest but the cost to implement it into their system is going to take a few years to break even.
-
seriously, if i had to brg my own bags to the supermarket....
and be charged 10c for one, i would still pay for the plastic bags.
maybe just not throw them away, and just use them for other stuff. -
Last time Mac uses paperbags Lol.
& yea, gov should take the lead. We are the 'clean & green' country afterall
