I'm not a Plastic Bag

Anya Hindmarch lauched the "go-green" bag for shopping called "i'm not a plastic bag". it's a nice neat looking bag. but when i search over internet trying to get one, i found out the dirty side of this bag. it says on Anya Hindmarch website the bags were sold out in US and they cancelled the new store lauch in asia for safety reason. and the reason they design this bag, they say, is "We are trying to use our influence in a positive way to make it fashionable not to use plastic bags, to raise awareness of this issue and to encourage people to make small changes in their behaviour. " yeah right. i agree. a simple bag priced at almost 40 British pound. and you know what, the bag is made in China. if you search over Chinese ebay you will find the price of this bag vary from 3 euro to 50 euro. they all called "i m not a plastic bag" and they all look like it. i wonder, if the company wants to do something for the earth. why don't they give out the bag for free. people say, if they give it out for free you will never remember the reason of getting the bag - not use plastic and do something to protect the earth. the cost of making the bag is not so much i guess. why can they make it more approachable. if people have the enthusiasm to queue for the bag, why cant they just start up using whatever non plastic bag they can find in their life. jesus. i just cant get it. i m thinking, Chinese did right to fake the bag this time.
I loved this bag but now i wil not try to get one. i will make one of my own. Not plastic, of course.
