Kew Carrier Bag boycott is spreading - Retail chains
by job
It all started with a small town in plastic bags Kew boycott, but now people in Richmond are invited to follow suit.
After the great success of the Greener Kew, Greener project upon Thames is all set to be launched in September. Thousands of buyers in Richmond will be encouraged to opt out of plastic bags at the checkout.
Last year, Kew Green Project, which was the brainchild of Michael Glazebrook, has seen most of the operations are prohibited in Plastic CityAirlines in an attempt to reduce the environmental impact of plastic. Not to mention the millions to save whales, seals, dolphins, turtles and other aquatic animals that die each year of toxic waste from plastic.
This year, Mr. Glazebrook, and Nicole Pound, a resident of Barnes, boost to the campaign in several other cities to help in the city of Richmond to become plastic bag-free. However, Mr Glazebrook said that this year's campaign, the companies wouldare required to fully plastic bags.
He explained that this move was made of plastic bags, most shops and retail project that will be included in and use. The aim of the campaign is not completely ban plastic bags, but rather on enlightening people about the dangers of plastics and to encourage them to try alternatives. According to Mr Glazebrook, the project should be considered a success if one considers the end, falling twice before picking up theplastic bag.
Several groups and community organizations, including town centers, associations of residents and businesses have expressed their support for the project. Schools can also be an important vector for spreading awareness about alternatives to plastic bags such as cloth bags specifically targeted.
Not with a carrier at the box ready to take your purchases home, does not mean that you can use a special bag, environmentally friendly alternatives.

Is there a recycling difference between thicker retail shopping bags and thinner Walmart/publix bags?
Dec 29, 2008 by ... | Posted in Green Living
I want to recycle my retail bags like from wetseal, charlotte rousse, pacsun, etc. I can't find what # plastic it is on the bag but it definitely feels thicker than regular grocery bags. Is there a difference, or can I just put it in the same recycling bin as regular grocery bags?
It depends!
Do you have curbside recycling? If so, you need to contact the company that picks up or processes the recycling with this question.
Are you taking the bags to a Recycling Center? The employees at the Recycling Center should be able to answer this.
Or are you putting the bags in the bins that some Wal-Marts have at their entryways? Wal-Mart will accept almost every type of plastic bag except food-type bags (bags that held cheese, hot dogs, bread, etc.).
My husband and I run our city's Recycling Center (we're volunteers), and many people simply assume you can recycle things like styrofoam, bubble wrap, and food wrappers, so they're constantly just chucking things into bins without asking. Or they'll ask us and we'll tell them no, and they'll stuff it in a bin when our backs are turned. We spend a lot of time taking non-recyclables out of bins and throwing them away.
You can certainly put other types of plastic bags in with your Wal-Mart type bags, but unless you contact the appropriate person to ask about this, your other bags may be getting thrown away by whoever sorts the bags. This does not bother some people, but to us it's important that the recycler know his/her things are being tossed and not recycled.
Thank you for recycling!

Does anyone know where i can find inexpensive eco-friendly retail bags? Mind you the bags would only need to carry a couple of items such as some tops, or a pair of jeans,dresses etc...
