Last week a bag designed by a famous handbag designer
made to replace plastic bags went on sale. The new bag has
been flying off the shelves - it has the logo 'I am not a plastic
bag' on the front.
Everyone wants to be seen with the bag because they
want to show they care for the environment
and that they are interested in fashion!
Modbury, a small town in England is doing even more
to help care for the environment. All the shops in the
town say that from today they won't give people plastic bags
when they come to do their shopping.
The idea came from a local resident who was in Hawaii
and was shocked at the sight of green sea turtles choking
to death because of plastic bags.
When she returned to her town she persuaded all the s
hopkeepers to go plastic bag free. She says that she's
got a mission and she wants everyone to hear her message
and for other towns to be inspired by Modbury's example.
Do you think it's possible where you live to be completely
plastic bag free? Write to us in English!
