Message from Greener Upon Thames: Plastic: Where do you think it goes?

[Baglady of Kingston upon Thames]

Please watch Greener Upon Thames new short film (it’ll only take 30
seconds) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoL3v6pqJ9M, and forward
this message to your contacts:

Greener upon Thames wants YOU to help reduce plastic bag use in the
UK.

Why?

Plastic bags last up to 1,000 years
Each person uses on average 20,000 plastic bags in their lifetime
Plastic bags do NOT biodegrade
They kill wildlife and marine life
They act like a sponge absorbing toxins and passing them into the
food chain
The “Pacific Plastic Stew” - waste accumulating in the Pacific Ocean
- is now six times the size of the UK
It is EASY to live without them – take a reusable bag with you

Back us in getting the new Government to ban or introduce a national
levy on single use plastic bags.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Please watch our 30 second film, sign our petition at http://www.greeneruponthames.org
and forward this email oto your contacts.

THANKS SO MUCH – together we can do this!
