Don't leave anything in your car. Not even a pound. Take the stereo out too. Charlie

Agreed. I think it's great. I refuse bags from supermarkets all the time. I'm easy to spot on Lordship Lane - I'm the one dropping my stuff all over the pavement on the way home ;-) In all seriousness there are so many things we could do. Re-using bags is just one of many. Why don't companies collect up their own bottles like they used to? 10p back on the R Whites Cream Soda bottle seems so retro now but it makes a lot of sense. Charlie

When you decide not to accept plastic carrier bags will you also reject supermarket food with excessive plastic packaging? Will you return all your glass bottles to the manufacturer instead of smashing them in a glass recycling container for them to be melted down and made into bottles? Will you ask your paper recycling centre how much bleach and other environmentally unsound chemicals they use to clean the paper pulp? Will you ensure that the paper you use comes from sustainable forest where many new tress are planted to replace each felled one? Charlie
