		<description>Well China uses 6.93 million bbl/day of oil.  So it will save about 5-6 days of oil.  Nothing startling, but you gotta start somewhere I guess... I think it will definitely have an effect on decreasing white pollution and changing people&#039;s mindsets though.</description>

		<description>Went to Carrefour yesterday and an old couple was arguing with the cashier about having to pay extra for the plastic bag. The cashier was frustrated and her shift was about to end (she put up the &#039;closed&#039; sign right after I got in line) so she just kept on telling them to pay without explaining why.

Maybe if the cashiers told the customers that the fee exists to help improve the environment, it might guilt a few people into using less bags.

Instead of getting a cute cartoon bunny bag, I just put everything in my black Jansport backpack.</description>

		<description>Last night... at around 1:00am I went to a C-store (a Chinese 7-11) to buy myself some snacks and ciggies, the shop assistant girl smiled at me and said &quot;Sorry, no more plastic bags for free - now you either pay ￥.20 for a plastic bag, or ￥2 for a lasting bag.&quot; I paid for a black shopping bag that has some cartoon design on it, with some characters like &quot;I use one less plastic bag every day&quot;.

I&#039;m in Shanghai, by the way.</description>
