Plastic Ain’t My Bag Campaign

Plastic Aint My Bag

Did you know that? … 

“Every person in the country uses an average of 167 plastic bags every year. That’s 10 billion bags all together*. A plastic bag takes up to 500 years to decay in landfill. There is an alternative. It’s called a shopping bag.”
Quote from Change the World for a Fiver.

Marie Claire magazine has made it their business to fully support We Are What We Do’s campaign to make this year a plastic bag free Christmas. I don’t know about you but I think this is such a great idea and it definitely brings peoples attention towards using far too many plastic bags. When I’m offered a plastic bag in shops after I’ve brought a product or item of clothing, I simply decline and feel great about placing the item in my own oversized handbag. 

The organic cotton shopper is the perfect accessory and sturdy enough for all your Christmas shopping.

Marie O’Riordan, Editor of Marie Claire magazine says “We are especially pleased to join forces with We Are What We Do for our gift this month. Marie Claire readers have always led the way on thoughtful consumerism and this beautiful tote is a stylish solution to an ugly problem. By flaunting the bag whenever they shop, our readers will be joining the campaign to end the evil of the plastic carrier.”

You should also keep an eye out for the ‘Plastic Ain’t My Bag’ logo in the windows of participating retailers, such as the Virgin Megastores, the Dermalogica salons, Sainsbury’s, Debenhams, Melrose and Morgan, Queen’s Park Books, Kennards Good Foods, Something and French’s Dairy, who are all supporting the campaign.
