Plastic Bag Campaign
CAVE is working in collaboration with Monica Blake and the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust to launch a campaign to reduce the amount of plastic bags currently used in the area. Melksham Climate Friendly Group is also campaigning to reduce plastic bags, and we have since discovered that other towns across Wiltshire are keen to get involved.
As a result, CAVE and Melksham groups are planning a Plastic Bag Amnesty Day on Saturday 20th September and it is hoped that many other Wiltshire towns will join us.
The aim of the day is to raise awareness about alternatives to plastic bags, and to reduce the amount of new plastic bags issued. We plan to provide recycling bins on the day for people to hand in their old plastic carrier bags for appropriate disposal, and various bags for life will be available.
There are lots of ways for people to take part or contribute to this campaign. If you would like to get involved or have any comments or ideas, please get in touch:Vicky Welsh on 01249 706 446 or e-mail vwelsh@northwilts.gov.uk.
We are a friendly and informal group, always pleased to welcome new faces at our meetings which take place in the meeting room above The Bear Hotel, Market Place, Chippenham.
Do come along to our next meeting, on Wednesday 23rd July.
