Eco bag is an 'unethical con'  

But the bags are made using
cheap labour in China — and
thousands of litres of fuel
have been used to get them
here.
Campaigners said Sainsbury’s
“green” credentials had
been damaged. But the company
hit back, saying the bags
had not been flown from
China, to reduce the
environmental impact.
And it said it had bought
“carbon credits” — a
worldwide industrial
scheme to reduce
greenhouse gases. A
spokesman added: “Our
intention was to create
a reusable bag that
eliminated plastic bags.”
