It's been a while since the supermarkets etc have been charging us for carrier bags , has anyone heard of any charity that has benefitted from this charge being passed on , well that what the supermarkets told us they would do ......................or have they just kept the profit surprised

Thanks from me also.  I found the fact that they named the charities receiving the cash was an interesting mix of worthwhile causes.

Good to know that good has come out of the carrier bag thing.  Thanks for that link David.  Mind you I do a nice line in Co-op 10p carrier bags.. laughing

I used to recycle my supermarket carrier bags as bin liners. Now I have to buy new proprietary bin liners for a one-off use which isn't very environmentally friendly is it?

It is if you buy bio-degradable ones.

I too used the bags for rubbish, in other words, they were re-usedlaughing.  However, I would like to know what the "Morrisons Foundation" isundecided

They were used as bin liners in our house too, still have a pile of old bags to use up, but then we will have to start buying refuse bags.
