First off, I want to welcome a new blog to my blogroll… Plastic Bag Watch is a very focussed blog dealing primarily with banning campaigns throughout the UK. Here is a neat map that he used to show many of these campaigns:
The most interesting post on this blog for me was a commentary on EU laws standing in the way of outright bans of plastic bags. I myself am quite perturbed that the EU is forcing Malta to stop requiring local beverage companies to use returnable glass. This will be a step backwards as far as I am concerned as the businesses will undoubtedly go for the cheaper plastic. This will only add to the already prevalent problem of litter.
Thank you for the honourable mention. It is good to see another anti-plastic campaigner out there, with another blog of knowledge to consume and enjoy!
By the way, as much as I would like to take the credit for the map on the site, it was hosted with kind courtesy of David at Abolish Plastic Bags (www.abolishplasticbags.org.uk), another great anti-plastic bag website and blog. Check that site out too for more info on the plastic bag free campaigns happening across the UK.
Thanks for the info. I can’t wait to check this blog out!
BTW, I added your blog to my blogroll
