I was buying Organic Life magazine and was asked a total of three times if I wanted a bag although I had already said no. I resisted the urge to shout "I am buying a magazine about organic living what makes you think I wanted the stupid plastic bag!" Like the rest of you I have a cloth bag...

Look forward to sharing ideas with you all.
