With the weather on the improve now that spring has sprung it’s great to be able to get everybody out of the house. On most weekends during winter, I always found myself tripping over a dog or a small version of a human being. As soon as we had the first signs of sunshine breaking through heavy cloud, I was pushing the children out of the house so that I could have some peace, quiet and a bit of space to move.

FILE -- This Aug. 3, 2009 photo shows a clerk bagging groceries in plastic sacks at the M Street Grocery in Seattle. The Seattle City Council voted Monday, Dec. 19, 2011, to ban single-use plastic bags from groceries and other retail stores, joining a growing trend among cities that embrace green values. The ordinance, which was approved unanimously following months of discussion and debate, included a provision to charge a nickel fee for the use of paper bags, to encourage people to bring their own bags when they go shopping.

Even with the 5p charge for single use plastic bags going into effect in October the debate over the pros and cons of plastic and paper bags is not one that is likely to end anytime soon.
