I have a backpack and 2 big white bags that I think are circa 2007 which can carry 3 500gms of kellogs cornflakes. Thais just love plasic bags. I have a constant fight to stop my girlfriend getting more of the buggers .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 While it's nice 7-11 did respond, the email was a hand job....without the happy ending. Suggesting YOU, 1 person, a farang at that, start a petition with the Thai Gov (LOL) is them shifting the burden to you. AKA - blowing you off. Hell, the PM himself has twice, gone on a national anti-plastic bag crusade and was blown off, so you're not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plastic bags we get from the supermarkets here in Greece have a limited lifespan, regardless of whether or not they are exposed to sunlight. On a couple of occasions I've emptied out the bin bag in which we keep the carrier bags (we use them for rubbish) only to find that the bags at the bottom have disintegrated into tiny flakes and dust. Makes a hell of a mess. I'm not sure how long it takes, but I would guess a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made from some environmentally friendly material that breaks down quickly and is harmless to marine life. I think that would help solve the problem. That said, I think many people find the bags very handy for disposing of kitchen waste in neat packages I was just watching an Australian documentary (War On Waste ABC) about plastic bag usage. It was claimed on there that bio-degradable bags were a lot worse, as they break down into smaller pieces in the ocean, but don't degrade completely. They have a lot worse effect on fish and other creatures in the sea, as they tend to ignore the complete plastic bags, but can tend to ingest the smaller pieces.

Today at a 7-11 I got the strangest look when I said I'd put things in my backpack and a plastic bag wasn't needed. Same for me. I live near a small rural town. There are three 7/11 stores and all of them now hold up a bag to ask the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the OP of the thread about 7 Eleven not responding to emails, which I assume triggered this thread. I originally asked 7 Eleven why the branches I had been into didn't ask if customers wanted a bag, despite their website claim they were doing this. Perhaps my approach was too confrontational for a Thai to respond to. I'm pleased Malt25 who started this thread managed to get a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
