Autumn Competition

Competition: win a set of 5 organic cotton reusable shopping bags!<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>

Why reusable shopping bags?<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
Every year in the <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>UK</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> we use 10 billion plastic bags a year - that is 167 per person - most of which are thrown away after just one use.

Most bags will end up in landfill sites, but many will clutter up our waterways, seas and landscape, causing untold harm to wildlife.

The answer lies in your hands - simply refuse to accept any more plastic bags and carry your own stock of reusable bags with you when you go shopping.<O:P></O:P>
