Ever found yourself at the checkout, hands full with your shopping, and the cashier asks, "Paper or plastic?" It's a question that's been dividing us since the '70s, right? Well, one retailer that's made up its mind is John Lewis, and their decision might just make you smile.
Saying No to Single-Use
John Lewis has decided to bid farewell to single-use plastic bags. Yep, you heard it right! They're waving goodbye to those thin, flimsy bags that we often end up using once and then, well, losing. It's a big change, but it's all part of their mission to be a more sustainable retailer.
Why the Big Change?
You might be thinking, "But I like using plastic bags! They're convenient!" And you're not wrong. But here's the thing: those bags we use once and then toss? They're not so great for our planet. They take hundreds of years to decompose, and in the meantime, they're harming wildlife and polluting our oceans and countryside.
