I hear on here how people are washing out their bag and trying to get more days out of them than they are designed for. And some say how dear things are and they can't afford them. I have told you before in Australia everything is totally free, the government made it all free many many years ago. You all have to lobby your local government as well as your federal government. Get as many signatures that you can and do it big time. It all starts with the first person to take this seriously. Come on guys, don't just laugh this off saying they won't do it. They won't if you do nothing about it. Regards, IGGIE
