Subject: Plastic & Green Bags
It was with interest I noted your article on plastic shopping bags.

Currently the Green material bags on sale at supermarkets are being promoted as environmentally friendly alternative to the plastic bags.

However these Green material bags many are not cleaned on a regular basis and thus when placed in supermarket trolleys increase the bacteria levels, and as this occurs many times bacteria levels could rise to dangerous levels in trolleys were food is placed.

This is not only a danger to shoppers but could lead to massive litigation against some of the large and small supermarket chains.
