Forums > Living in Kunming > No More Plastic Bags! Fair enough, Bucko. Do you know if the shop keeps the money or does it go to some environmental fund? The multinationals (Carrefour, MacDs etc) must be delighted at the extra unearned revenue otherwise?

I just think there must be a more efficient way. What does "toolish" mean??
