Nero Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Monica,Is that every person in the wards you mentioned or just household? And will the businesses be encouraged to restrict the amount of plastic bags they give out?

monica Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nero yes the businesses are trying to restrict giving out bags,that is why we ask, do you need a bag?We are looking at biodegradable bags at the moment for the traders on Lordship lane and surrounding Dulwich,East Dulwich shops.All council tax paying households in East Dulwich,college ward and dulwich village will be entitled to 2 bags per household.However because some parts of college ward and Dulwich village do cover a large area we can only provide so many households.

mack Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi Monica, I am an importer of 100% biodegradable bags. Have bags already been sourced or could I be of any help?

Cllr Richard Thomas Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 great news that the community council is able to back this campaign. just the kind of thing they were created for.there was a piece about this in the South London Press on Fridaythere's no on-line version but you can see a very similar photo of Monica and Marilyn (and me, sorry!) here Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1714-snub-funding-we-got-it/#findComment-49557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I heard Monica, Marilyn and Richard on BBC London Live this morning - well done guys!It must be really hard to try and change some people's attitude (what about that guy interviewed who said life in London was stressful enough without having bags and this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back!??)It could be argued (and people have) that there are bigger issues in the world, even in the recycling world*, but you have to take one step at a time and this is a great move which will get people thinking about their habits*(I wonder if at the miracle of water into wine, people at the wedding said to Jesus, "yeah that's all very well Anglo-Saxon dude but it doesn't solve world hunger does it?")

monica Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thank you sean.BBC radio london picked up the story from the south london press.Its great Eastdulwich snub are given the chance to show london we can help reduce our carbon foot print.The guy was right about enough stresses without remembering yo bring a bag,however we know the most important message is that shop keepers independant and chains should always ask " do you need a bag" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1714-snub-funding-we-got-it/#findComment-49860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
