Ban the Plastic Bag
by Rebecca Hoskins

In May 2007 Modbury in Devon became Britain's first plastic bag-free town. This book takes the Modbury story and uses it as a call to action, entreating every village, town and city in the country to follow its example and ban the plastic bag.

A leading campaigner in the fight to rid the UK of plastic carrier bags, cameraperson Rebecca Hoskins encountered the destruction caused by carrier bag pollution first hand while filming marine life for the BBC.

This book shows that there is something we can do.

More information

Every year 17 billion carrier bags are given away free in the UK - that means an average of 300 carrier bags for every man, woman and child. Plastics do not bio-degrade and scientists now estimate that plastic lasts for up to 1000 years. Every carrier bag that has ever been produced is still on the planet, in landfill, hedgerows, or floating in the sea. Plastic bag litter is lethal, killing over 100,000 seabirds, dolphins, seals, whales and turtles every year.

The sight of the sea filled with plastic and dying sea animals inspired the author to persuade the town traders from her hometown of Modbury to stop using carrier bags. Modbury is now plastic bag free.
