On the train from Dawlish to Exeter the tide was out I notice discarded plastic carrier bags littering the railway embankment and as the the tide was out on the rocks and sand on the beach and estuary. Is it time Dawlish became plastic bag free
What a good idea not only would we be doing out bit for the enviroment it would show that we do care about things other than supermarkes more houses etc
I go told off in Stokes wnen I put some carrots and an onion loose in the basket, next time I went in used the mushroom paper bags got told off again! even bio bags take between 2 & 5 years turn to dust.
Yes was told it took to long to weigh things loose and only mushrooms allowed in the paper bags. I go to a little veg shop in Teignmouth now they do a lot of organic produced if you do need a plastic bag they provide used ones and dont mind if you put items straight into basket and they are very nice people who work their
I went to Pinhoe spar shop the other day and was charged 5p per carrier, so I won't be going there again.

Trago Mills have been charging 5p&10p for plastic bags for years.

You have to choose a slot and it can cost anything from 5£ upwards.
