The greens have it! That no more plastic bags campaign has swept a new Must Have item onto the scene.

The shopping bag.

No, not a bag from a shop or a tote to carry your lunch, gym kit, a couple of magazines and a paperback book to read on the train/bus, but a bag for your shopping. Food shopping that is. In washable, recyclable fabric. Newest in bold, eye-catching prints like these which just found their way into Habitat on London's Tottenham Court Road. And big - the right size to hold all those healthy fruit and veg (plus the odd bottle of wine of course.) www.habitat.co.uk

It's a green thing. That is, a sustainable, environmentally friendly, ecolological kind of thing.

And not plastic.
