Plastic bags

I don't suppose gallant little Camberwell will follow in the footsteps of gallant little Modbury and ban plastic bags altogether, but small moves are being made. Somerfield will give you a "bag for life" in exchange for five used ordinary bags, or sell you one for 10p. The bag for life is estimated to last 25 times longer than ordinary plastic bags and can be exchanged for a new one when it is worn out. (Something odd about that phrase "bag for life"?)

Alternatively and again emphasizing re-use, there is a plastic bag exchange at Basic - put in the ones you don't need, get ones out if you are caught short.
