Simple, easy and kind on the wallet. That’s what every green drive should aim to be. You can’t expect people to change just by endlessly banging on at them about landfills or how even biodegradable waste just festers inside black plastic bags. Believe me, I’ve tried, and all you get is a sore throat.
So my hat be doffed to M&S, and its Plan A campaign. This month in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Gloucestershire, M&S is handing out free Bags for Life to customers. Then, from the beginning of February, it’ll start charging 5p for regular plastic bags (while the BfL go back to 10p). Cue punters abandoning the endless cycle of grabbing a new plastic bag with every lunchtime KitKat purchase. (Other chocolate bars are available)
