WHEEL-A-KIDDO

In the name of going 'eco' friendly, some residents at the Punggol neighbourhood have taken to plastic caddys to do their daily shopping. What better way to wheel some fresh groceries and your kids to the market and back, whilst saving billions of plastic bags which are choking our planet. Plastics, not limiting to bags, ultimately cost both consumers and the environment plenty:

• Each year billions of bags end up as ugly litter.
• Eventually they break down into tiny toxic bits polluting our soil, river, lakes and oceans
• Production requires vast amounts of oil.
• Countless animals needlessly die each year

Fashionistas who wish to be true to the environment need not cramp their styles with granny plastic caddys.
For those who can afford it, Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" will be the 'it' bag to be toted at Jasons or the Gourmet Market.
Alternatively, the Envirosax bags found at the Dotted Line Shop will not break the bank and are equally chic for neighbourhood shopping.
