Plastic Bag-Free Newington Green

Filed under: Networks News  Reduce, Reuse & Recycle 

A first for London...

If we succeed, we shall be the first area in Greater London where shops do not hand out plastic bags.

This would be a huge triumph and would mean excellent press and PR for Newington Green and the Businesses that are based there.

Please support this pioneering and innovative movement.

28 Newington Green Shops and Businesses have shown their support by putting 'I love plastic bag free Newington Green' posters in their windows.

We'll be handing out more bags soon, and Islington Council have promised us 3,000 fairtrade, organic cotton bags with a cool Newington Green logo.

So it's time to start refusing plastic bags from our shopkeepers, explaining to them why, and encouraging them to join our movement!

We are part of a huge grassroots revolution sweeping the country — against the wasteful use of plastic bags and other plastic containers. So far, several towns in the UK (as well as whole countries worldwide) have succeeded and are already enjoying the bliss of a plastic-bag-free existence.
