Eco Friendly Lifestyle Campaign
Early this year, some of the stores in my suburb decided to launch an eco friendly lifestyle campaign. Consumers or shoppers were required to bring their own shopping bags on Wednesdays and Saturdays and failing which, twenty cents will be charged per plastic bag.
Such a campaign is great to increase awareness towards a greener lifestyle but it isn’t without challenges. I saw angry and frustrated shoppers at the beginning because they were ready to pay for plastic bags! This was especially when they had patronize the stores. Also, many shoppers bought a whole trolley full of groceries and they weren’t prepared to pay for so many plastic bags. It took a while to educate the customers and acceptance did take time too. I was reading some information on an insurance blog and found that education is important for all disciplines.
After a few months of eco friendly lifestyle campaign, things are alot better now and shoppers tend to bring in their own bags. It also promotes a better awareness of how we can all play a part in making this earth a better and friendlier place to live.
