Poll: What do you think about supermarkets selling "reusable" plastic bags?

Gary Farrow Reporter from Hamilton Press

It's Plastic Free July, and many of you will be trying to nullify your plastic waste output this month in the interests of our environment. Some supermarkets are now selling "reusable" plastic bags, rather than single-use plastic bags, to put your groceries in. Nonetheless, they will still eventually deteriorate into plastic waste. What do you think of this? Vote in the poll and we'd love to hear some of your comments too.

The Hamilton Press and Neighbourly are on the hunt for Neighbours of the Week!

Whether you live in an apartment or on a rural property, you have neighbours - and knowing your neighbours matters. Connecting with the people who live around you creates a happier, safer and more friendlier neighbourhood - even if it's just greeting them by name over the fence or popping in for an occasional cuppa.

We want to celebrate all the good neighbours who are making an extra effort to support others in communities across the Waikato. These are the ones who organise neighbourhood BBQs, help stack their neighbour's firewood or always put their hand up to babysit.

So if you have a have a neighbour that fits the bill, and needs a bit of thanking, let us know. Nominations can be emailed to julie.kaio@stuff.co.nz, or simply post a comment on this message below.

Thanks - Julie and the Hamilton Press team
