Please help us to
say no to plastic bags |
|
|
| You might like to think
about this ? |
|
|
| Every year, it is estimated that supermarkets
give away 17 billion plastic carrier bags -- BUT where do they all go ??? |
|
|
| Carrier bags and food packaging are a significant
cause of pollution which we can all see around us, but there are very simple ways to make
a difference. In some countries plastic carriers are already banned and this is probably
going to spread across the world as people realise the real consequences. |
|
|
| Some of the tips here are easy to do and will
really help ! |
|
|
- Buy a cotton carrier bag and use this instead of plastic
|
- If you must use plastic carriers, then re-use them
|
- Use cardboard boxes which are often available and can be easier too !
|
- Select or request paper bags whenever possible.
|
- Check out the packaging on food and other items - choose items with less
packaging
|
- Remember that that you are not obliged to put supermarket fruit and veg
into a plastic bag !
