Those who take their shopping home in plastic carrier bags (rather than ‘green’ reusable ones) re-use them - instead of buying plastic bags to line their bins, say. But those little boogers used for fruit and veg are good for nothing. The checkout people tolerate having to corral loose apples on the scale, but they don’t like it. And they draw the line at loose unwashed dirt-encrusted potatoes. Now, there’s a locally designed re-usable fruit & veg bag on the market, the Fregie – made from coloured polypropylene that lasts a year or two. Buy them online from $12.50 for five.
