The world’s first Plastic Bag Free Day will be on the 12th September 2009. Please ditch plastic bags for good! Just take a reusable bag with you when you shop.
Locally in East Dulwich this has been led by SNUB (Say No to Unwanted Bags) – an inspiring team of locals that we’ve funded the bags and more recent composting trial via our councillor Cleaner, Greener, Safer funds.
There are many ways you can support Plastic Bag Free day. Leave plastic bags at the checkout, help to make your town Plastic Bag Free or join in the celebrations at town’s that have already stopped using plastic bags. You could also write to shops and supermarkets asking them to support the day. See www.adoptabeach.org.uk for more.
Whatever you do please take part.
What a great idea. I will definitely pledge to use my poksak reusable bag on Sept. 12. Please join us for a good cause.
