Its good to see that the likes of the Co-op, Tesco and Sainsburys are doing their bit to phase out or limit the impact of plastic carrier bags. For one day, Sainsburys was giving away their “Bag for Life” for free and their standard bags are now made from recyclable material.
Tesco and the Co-op bags are now 100% bio-degradable.
Modbury (Devon, UK) claims to be the first town in Britain to be entirely free of plastic carrier bags.
