Interesting site about Modbury, the town that has banned plastic bags.
The video of a speech by Ray Anderson on the "Why and How to" page is
excellent.

and if anyone thinks this is OT for this ng check out the site.

I'd be more impressed if they were giving away reuseable bags.

You're still paying for your supermarket plastic bag, you just don't know
how much!

I'm not. I bought recyclable bags years ago. I don't recall the supermarket
that
made them available for a token amount getting any publicity.

Probably because they go on handing out plastic bags for which we all still
pay - even you. There *has* been publicity recently over Tesco's decision
to start charging 5p for plastic bags to 'force' people to re-use them.
