Is Carrefour Really Going Green?
Sunday, December 30, 2007
Last Friday, I went to Carrefour with Mom. She was buying some groceries, so I tagged along to buy some supplies for the office, since one of our lights was half dead. I noticed this sort-of-in-a-trend campaign from Carrefour that encourages people to reduce the use of plastic bags. And no, not with a highly-recyclable fabric tote-bag that you can carry every single time you go to Carrefour to shop, but with another plastic bag. Yes, plastic, but a bit tougher than your average plastic grocery bags. I wonder how that could make our Earth greener? Maybe we can all make up a “Fight Plastic with Green-Colored Plastic” campaign, that would make the Earth greener, alright. Literally. When I saw the ad for the campaign on their LCD panels, it claims that this plastic green bag is an alternative model to the fabric tote-bag which, I never saw any around. If green is the next way to go, why would they even bother creating an “alternative” yet destructive model to choose in the first place anyway?
