Ngatea is becoming the first town in New Zealand to be plastic bag free. The pharmacy, the bookshop, the post office, the art gallery, the petrol station, Hammer Hardware, Subway, and Hauraki Takeaways are all joining the trend of going plastic bag free. The replacement for plastic bags is recycled fabric bags called "Boomerang Bags," where you grab some to put your groceries in and then bring them back or use them for your next shop. I think it is a great idea to ditch plastic bags because it will lower ocean pollution levels by a whole lot.
Great thinking Charlie! Thank you for your blog post! :-)
