Get your re-usable, fabric totes out everyone.

This campaign raises awareness of the severe environmental impact of single use plastic bags and kicks off the broader Plastic Free July movement.

It must be years since I used a plastic bag. 🤔

Same here. I can’t remember the last time I used one

I use them all the time, the ones I have kept for years and reuse.

My supermarket bags are well used, they're always in the car. Yes like others I can't remember the last time I bought a plastic bag.

I wish that they would just stop selling them, full stop. 😡

The fresh fish from the fish stall in the market was in two small plastic bags. I cannot think of a way round that. I wouldn't have wanted to put my two fillets of smoked haddock directly into a cloth bag to carry it home.

Lidl provide paper carriers now, but no good if you do a big shop, because they’re only lidl.

Scooping up dog detritus in a paper bag 🤮
Oh I know! Don't have a dog!

Putting food waste, even if you have very little, in a plastic bin liner . . .

OK, I know, don’t eat food.
