I think this whole craze over the Anya Hindmarch "I Am Not A Plastic Bag" canvas tote is laughable.

Not only are they going as fast as bubur lambuk at a Ramadan bazaar, but imitations are fetching prices even higher than that of the original.

But really, what pisses me off the most is the fact that the environmental message behind the concept of the bag is lost on some.

The other day in Cold Storage, I saw a well-dressed, haughty-looking woman with this It bag slung over her shoulder and carrying her groceries in enough plastic bags to choke an entire population of baby seals.

What could be more daft.

Celebrities blathering on in interviews and on TV about global warming and saving our doomed planet have helped make environmental consciousness trendy. But really, why wear it on your sleeve (or in this case, slung over your shoulder) when you don’t feel the slightest affiliation to the cause at all? It would be like Adolf Hitler supporting a campaign for human rights.

The last thing this planet needs from mankind is hypocritical intentions.
