Seems to me, each latest trend - like the current 'green'/ 'global warming/ pollution' one just results in more 'alternative solutions' being produced & marketed.

Par exemple, I had a recent argy bargy with Aldi who charge extra for their plastic carrier bags.

I said other shops bags are free, Aldi's response being they're trying to persuade customers to use their own bags 'to protect the environment .

I argued how's it protecting the environment if the bags are still being manufactured & sold ??

Another scam, I think!
