The 'Bring Your Own Bag Day' (BYOBD) happens in Singapore every first Wed of the month. As for me I decided to do it everyday! As far as possible, I always bring along a backpack or sling bag when I go out (whether I am going shopping or not). To help spread the word and culture around, I go one step further whenever the cashier/sale person give me a shopping bag. I will proclaim loudly, "Save the plastic bag today, Save our earth tomorrow". By doing so, sometimes the next shopper behind/beside me will somehow feel a little "paiseh" (embarrass) to take the plastic bag also. Also the culture of using less plastic bag can be spread to more people.
*My personal golden rule of my thumb...... When you really need a plastic bag at times, go ahead take one just make sure you will reuse them. Don't just throw them away!
