HOMEWARE store Ikea will become the first retailer in Singapore to charge for
plastic bags in a bid to reduce waste.
From April 22, shoppers at the retail
giant's two outlets in Alexandra Road and Tampines will have to pay a nominal
five cents for standard-size bags and 10 cents for larger ones.

WoW. I thought this would take a loong time to catch up in Singapore , but it's good that a giant store like Ikea started on it. It'll be good if other stores start practice it too. And slowly, it'll spread to Malaysia (there are ikeas there, right?) and... I was just thinking about those developing countries where plastic bags may just have been introduced. But well, for these countries, it'll be good to start saving Earth from a young stage.

It's good that my mom has stocked up on those plastic bags. Now, I'll think twice about using those superstore plastics bags as rubbish bins (and not for something more useful, like shopping).

As for me, i've just been entertaining myself by doing maths. And i need to get my library books returned by 18th april. (why do i keep thinking that it's supposed to be 21st?)
