The end of single use plastic bag - success starts at home!

I feel quite pleased with myself this week since I've taken another step to forcing my housemates into using linen bags.

Every time one of them goes to the shops they come back with a plastic bag, no matter how few items they buy. It's an issue which thoroughly winds me up and in turn winds them up because of me harping on about it!

But at Camden Green Fair on the weekend, I picked up of a load of linen bags that were being handed out for free and have hung them on a hook on the back of the front door. Now I have given all my housemates the strict orders that when they go to the shops that they have to take one off the door to save on plastic bags.

Now all I've got is beast them enough that they continue taking them!
