PBF UK
Is your town listed?

From a ten year old school girl, to people in retirement; from very busy mums with full time jobs, to businessmen with 3 companies; from a lovely German lady who has only been in the U.K for 3 years, to a super busy organic farmer who is up at 5 in the morning 7 days a week.
Not to forget local environmental groups, parish councils, town Mayors and many many others.
All are now leading plastic bag free campaigns in their home communities.

All normal people trying to do their bit, and all of them heroes in our book.

This campaign is no longer about a little town in South Devon, its gone national and its thanks to the hard work of many individuals and groups up and down the country. We would like to recognise this.

We have joined forces with the Marine Conversation Society to collate a National Plastic Bag
Free Community List. Please take a look!.

If your town is currently working towards becoming plastic bag free there are many reasons to add your town's name to this list.

. It encourages other towns to follow.

. It allows your town to keep in touch with neighboring PBF communities, so you can swap information and advice.


. It demonstrates the amount of national interest to "the powers that be", including super markets.

. It helps bring public awareness to your particular campaign.


. The Media, both local and national, are keeping a keen eye on developments.
One of the questions they constantly ask us :
"Do you know what other towns are doing this, and have you got their contact details?"
