How deluding. I thought we were heading the world in the improvement of smartphones. Albeit I had no clue how, that is the reason I needed to peruse the article. Appears we're heading the world in smartphone utilization.

Although our paper checkout bags are recyclable and compostable, they do however have a significant effect on the environment. <br />Currently Thomas Dux uses over 65,000 paper checkout bags per week. This equates to almost 3 tonnes of paper, and would fill 21 semi-trailers per year. <br />Producing this 3 tonnes of paper each week requires 39 trees, 7.5 barrels of oil, 12,300 KWH of electricity and 95,340 litres of water. <br />To reduce this impact on the environment we commenced charging our customers 10 cents for each checkout bag from 21st of May, 2013- in our Paddington store ONLY, as a trial for us to measure what reduction in bag usage is possible. We conducted research in Paddington and Hornsby amongst current Thomas Dux shoppers prior to the trial and shoppers nominated 10c as a fair price to pay for a carry bag. They were also told they could bring in any carry bag instead of paying the charge. Some respondents indicated the charge would change their behaviour and they would bring in their own bags, others were prepared to pay the 10c charge. <br />The aim of this trial is to encourage our customers to re-use: <br />• Bring in and re-use your own shopping bags, any type of shopping bag or other bags are welcome <br />• Bring in and re-use your Thomas Dux shopping bags; paper or jute. <br />• Purchase an environmentally friendly Jute Shopping Bags for re-use, these are very strong, long lasting and also biodegradable. <br /><br />While we realise that having to purchase shopping bags will be new for Thomas Dux Customers, it is now common practice among many retailers in order to reduce bag consumption and impact on the environment, examples include Target and Aldi. <br /><br />In addition many state and local governments are legislating controls on checkout bag use. In South Australia legislation has led to both Woolworths and Coles not providing any checkout bags with customers providing their own shopping bags. In January the Fremantle City Council passed a new law that single-use, non-biodegradable plastic bags are not permitted under any circumstances. Alternative bags (biodegradable bags or bags above a certain thickness) may be offered, but those retailers choosing to do this are required by the new law to charge a minimum of 10 cents per bag.<br /> <br />Our aim is to reduce our checkout bag use, which in turn reduces the impact on our natural resources, energy consumption, landfill and the environment in general. <br /> <br />Thomas Dux Grocer is commitment to having the least impact possible on the environment while we continue to provide our customers with a quality food offer and a positive and rewarding shopping experience. <br /> <br />Some of the key areas where we actively reduce our impact on the environment are: <br />• Reducing our Carbon Emissions and effect on Climate Change with the use of energy efficient freezer lighting and non ozone depleting refrigerant and air conditioning gases <br />• Where possible sourcing local products for our stores to reduce food miles <br />• Recycling our waste such as paper and card board, fats and grease, photo copier cartridges to produce recycled products such as packaging, fertilizers and bio fuels <br />• Community Food Contributions to organisations such as OzHarvest, Fareshare and Secondbite to assist in providing meals for people in need. So far we have contributed the equivalent of 129,000 meals to OzHarvest alone. <br />• Minimising the use of packaging and checkout bags <br /><br />Your understanding and support of this environmental initiative is appreciated. <br /><br />Thomas Dux Grocerhttp://thomasdux.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034510023554289494.post-21544851105591178752013-06-01T17:21:03.288+10:002013-06-01T17:21:03.288+10:00This is nice information blog.

A country's whose national identity is formed on an image of ruggedness and 'real men.' <br /><br />In France or Japan, metrosexual habits such as grooming and fashion fetishes would not be considered the feminine threats to masculinity that they are here.<br /><br />and i think the fact this debate rages in the first place, that grooming is considered a feminine trait mutually exclusive with masculinity, only shows how far we still have to go to achieve real equality.<br /><br />I take faith in the emo youth of Australia. That great mass of young boys who dye their hair, wear makeup, paint their nails, and are redefining notions of masculinity in a way that does not define itself by its differentiation from femininity.<br /><br />so no Mr Paul Colgan, i do not think ridiculing men for challenging traditional and outdated notions of masculinity is a win for real equality!<br /><br />(I can't help but feel the student in me coming out!)<br /><br />LucyStancombe Researchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565126218940453114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034510023554289494.post-15760101590049860132009-11-20T15:12:42.782+11:002009-11-20T15:12:42.782+11:00OH dear. it is simply too long.
