I have now got a stock of fabric bags for my weekly shop which I keep in my car. I have also started to put all the products I sell to my customers in paper bags rather than plastic ones. The company I buy the bags from have this information on their web site: Our “Bags To Trees” campaign… We make no bones about preferring paper packaging and bags over plastic bags. As well as the pollution caused in the extrusion of plastic film, it is a non bio-degradable substance. In sourcing the best quality paper products at the best prices however, we cannot guarantee that the paper is 100% recycled. As such we have set up our Bags to Trees initiative whereby the more paper bags we sell, the more money we will donate to selected tree foundations to help plant trees to replace the ones that have been used in the manufacture of the bags! We like to call it being environmentally friendly retrospectively.
Look through our online shop and be sure to check out all products with the Tree Aid and Tree Council graphic next to them. For every £100 spent on these products, we will donate £1 to the Tree Council and Tree Aid.
