Petition Action

Ban shops from using plastic bags.

Petition Details

Lots of shops around England use plastic bags for their products. This needs to stop! It is bad for the environment because the bags could get blown around and eventually ends up in the sea or on the beaches. If we don't do something soon, then all our ocean wildlife could be gone forever.

Additional Information

Last week I went with my Mummy to Mountain Warehouse to do some shopping but we found that they only sold plastic bags so we decided to carry our shopping instead without one. It would be much easier if shops provided paper bags.
