A petition to buy only from shops that DO NOT use plastic bags and actively encourage clients to not use them too.

Could set up a media partnership with the BEP to champion this….?

It'd be great to see it in action here also! If anyone has any ideas on what type or collection of companies we could start with around Bristol and what we should ask of them (the video explains all) then please drop me a note: jwgbradford@gmail.com Offers of help coordinating, promoting, etc also gratefully received. cheers John Thanks Kevin, this is a really good example of consumers rewarding companies for positive action.
