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

In the old days, supermarkets put out their cardboard boxes for you to put stuff in, or charged you 10p for a carrier bag. What do they do with all the boxes nowadays?

Incidentally if it's a plastic bag free town what do people put their rubbish in for the dustmen to collect? Putting "naked" food waste in a wheelly bin is extremely unhygienic.
