The 36 shops in Newington Green, London N16, used to give out over one million plastic bags each year.
We're trying to cut that to zero. So far we're around 60% of the way.

... Green Off Licence are buying their first order of cornstarch bags
... Marcel and his team at our local Tesco store managed a whole week without giving out a single plastic bag in July,
... and finally all 48 shops near Newington Green only gave out a tiny number of reused bags during that week, saving almost 20,000 plastic bags.
Every week we keep this up, we'll save another 20,000 bags.

Hi!
I am part of the Chesham Plastic Bag Free Group and, as part of the Plastic Bag Free Google Group, we are trying to organise a national Plastic Bag Free Day on Sept 12th 2009, where all groups will work together for one huge push to change the shopping habits of the nation!
It would be great if your group could get involved, so please join the google group and find out more.
