Thank you.

Publicising the petition

After creating the petition I really

wanted to circulate it. I sent it to many

magazines and websites. These are

some who have replied and been very

helpful. The newspaper The Daily Echo

became interested in the petition and

decided to run a short piece on it. On

the 19th December, I did a short

photo-shoot for the article.

I also forwarded the petition to

everyone in my email address book,

made a facebook page and put posters

up and distributed flyers to businesses

which distribute plastic bags.

Dear Liz Thank you for your interest in Friends of the Earth. We are a relatively small organisation and unfortunately we are unable to sign letters of support for campaigns or projects which we do not work specifically work on.The issue of carrier bags, particularly by supermarkets, is without doubt a big problem, as is over packaging. However, it is far from the only environmental abuse or even the worst interms of overall impact. Tackling the problem of plastic bags would only make a tiny difference in tackling the UK’s waste crisis. Other measures are needed to reduce waste and increasere-use and recycling. Attempting to win far-reaching reductions in waste, let alone waste going to landfill and incineration is Friends of the Earth's priority.

Rather than campaign to reform specific aspects of individual companies' behaviour, Friends of the Earth is campaigning for corporate accountability through wide-ranging legislation. Thiswould directly hit the refusal of suppliers and retailers to address packaging issues, among many others. However a number of our local groups have campaigned on the issue and may be able to help.

I was asked by Transition

Southampton to write a short

article about the petition for

them to post on their website.

Single Use Plastic Bag Charge in England

We don’t see many landfill sites around but they are there, and if we did we would see many plastic bags, perhaps the ones you threw away 5 years ago. Plastic bags do not break down as quickly as you might hope, in fact evidence shows that they just repeatedly break into smaller pieces. Supermarkets in Britain gave out 8 billion single use plastic carrier bags last year - this

is including a 22% drop in Wales (due to their charge on plastic bags) but a 7.5% rise in England.

Plastic bags are not a sustainable option given that they take so long to break down, killing

marine animals and littering our country in the meantime. The energy used to create them is wasted on their 1-3 uses before visiting landfill.

After the plastic bag charge was introduced in Wales, consumer habits have changed

drastically resulting in a massive drop in plastic bag usage. A petition has been started which states HM Government should set a fixed price (suggested 5p) on single use plastic bags to

encourage people to bring their own bags. The money raised would go to charities.

If you wish to see England enjoy a more sustainable culture and environment please go to the link below and sign the petition. Forward it to people that you think would be interested, it

needs to have 100,000 signatures in a year to be considered for debate in the House of Commons.

Dear Sir/Madam I’m doing BA Fine Art at Solent and my work is based on environmental issues through installation and action. I recently started an online petition to implement a charge on single use carrier bags in England as in Wales, where the amount of plastic bags going to landfill has decreased drastically. This must get 100,000 in a year to be considered. I have made a page for this on Facebook as well as an open event so that people can be invited to it. I also hope to run an event to give out free tote bags in West Quay with the petition card attached to it. It would be wonderful if your staff were already aware of this so that you are actively ensuring that businesses bring products to the consumer ethically and with regard for their impact upon the environment. I would be very grateful if you could present this information, in the form of the attached letter, to your staff, perhaps by leaving it on the wall in the staff room. Many thanks. Yours faithfully Libby Russell

5P CHARGE ON SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS

I have started a petition to introduce a charge on single use plastic bags in England.

Supermarkets gave out 8 billion single use plastic carrier bags in Britain last year - this is including a 22% drop in Wales (due to their charge on plastic bags) but a

7.5% rise in England.

Plastic bags we use will take many hundreds of years to decompose if it all. In the meantime they will get into the ocean and kill marine animals, sit around at landfill

and use unnecessary energy to create.

After the plastic bag charge was introduced in Wales, consumer habits have changed drastically resulting in a massive drop in plastic bag usage. For whatever reason,

England is far behind the rest of the UK and Europe in implementing legislation for sustainable living.

HM Government should set a fixed price on single use plastic bags to encourage

people to bring their own bags.

Basically, if you would like to see a change in England as in Wales, please go to the link below and sign the petition. Forward it to people that you think would be

interested, it needs to have 100,000 signatures in a year to be considered for debate in the House of Commons.

Hiya I have started a petition to introduce a charge on single use plastic bags in England. Would you please forward it to

people you think would be interested (or everyone ever Smile

Tote bag giveaway event

To raise awareness of the petition, I planned

to run an event to give out free canvas bags in

shopping centres during a busy period. These

bags would have a business card attached so

that people could sign the petition online but

this event would mainly be to raise awareness

of the subject and encourage people to use

more sustainable bags.

I went on a hunt to find a way to obtain a

supplier of the giveaway bags that would not

mean great expense for me.

I approached a few select bag manufacturers

in the UK and also explored options for

funding for this project.

I also used the online company Vistaprint to

make business cards of the petition to

support the event and petition in general.

From Vistaprint for free to support event:

I plan to attach these cards to the bags

given out.

Hi Libby

Your idea sounds great - I am going to try and support you as much as I can. The SU does offer fundingsupport for students to trial enterprising ideas or campaigns, however unfortunately we cannot fundprojects that are a direct result of a University assignment. The plain reason is that we are notfinancially able to support every student, therefore we have to put extra curricular criteria in place. Ihave attached our funding guidelines for you to review and see how we can't fund you.

Despite this, there may be other funding options for us. I have just emailed the SU Marketing andCommunications Manager to get his quote from our tote bags during Freshers. We may be able to get adiscount or get your quote of £1 a bag reduced. What is the total number of bags you are looking for?

Secondly - I will email the University and see whether their Environmental Manager can offer anysupport. They support the SU with green initiatives which may fall outside of our funding restrictions.

Thirdly - I will contact the University Employability and Enterprise Team and see whether this can fit withtheir funding criteria for enterprising ideas.

If all the above fail, we can look into some more solutions!

Thanks

Hi Martin

A student has been in contact asking for some support with an environmental project she is runningacross Southampton to encourage a charge on single use carrier bags, ultimately to reduce theenvironmental impact this has on the environment. She is asking for support from the Students' Union inpromoting this project.

I think this is a great idea and would love to help her, it clearly fits our objectives with Green Impact andmay help add to the overall portfolio of green University projects. Unfortunately, as the project is part ofthe students course the SU cannot give her any financial support. We can however assist with thepromotion of the project and will endeavour to do so.

I wondered whether you will be receiving the grant from NUS/Universities Green Impact this year and, ifso, whether you thought we could offer any financial support from that pot to the student?

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards

Please see the project idea from a student below. I am still waiting for details of cost, which will dependon how cheaply our marketing team can get tote bags from a supplier.

Could you confirm whether the UnLtd part of the 3-tier funding is allowed to cover projects that are partof a university course? Our funding cannot, however I told the student I would try and explorealternative avenues for her.

Hi Libby I am actually out of the office, but hopefully below will be a useful summary: - Martin Walton (Uni) was contacted to see whether he could offer financial support from the UniversityGreen Impact budget. Unfortunately he is unable to.- Tom Saunders (Uni) was contacted. I believe you have also been in contact with Tom, he may be ableto help. If you continue to contact Tom directly he should be able to support you further.- Jamie Ings (SU) may be able to provide you with some quotes for purchasing bags, however thesequotes may not be any cheaper than what you have looked at. You might want to get in contact with Kelly Collins, she is the President of the SIFE (Enactus) Societywhich runs enterprising student projects. She may have some good ideas or the SIFE team may havesome other good contacts they could pass on to you. She is a student and contactable on the unisystem. Hope that helps!

for now this event is to be continued…

Tote bag making workshop

After attending a few Transition Southampton

meetings I decided to plan a Tote (canvas)

bag making workshop. The Arthouse agreed

to host the event and I found a website called

Morsbags.com who encourages people to

spread the word about harmful plastic carrier

bags and show you how to make reusable

bags with a downloadable document. The

next hurdle would be to obtain the materials.

This must get 100,000 in a year to be considered. I have made an page forthis on Facebook as well as an open event so that people can be invited to it. I have also put it on all of mynoticeboards at uni and taken it to supermarkets and shops to put in their staff rooms. It has an upcoming article inthe Daily Echo newspaper in Southampton and Resource magazine have also shared it. I also have an event plannedto give out free tote bags in West Quay shopping centre in Southampton with the petition card attached to it, justwaiting on funding. This place is the height of consumerism in Southampton so would be a great place to raiseawareness. I have been speaking to Megan from transition Southampton about the carrier bag petition and she suggested we runa tote bag making workshop at the Art House to run alongside this project and ask for donations of old bedsheetsand stuff! I think that's an awesome idea! What do you think? I have looked at http://www.morsbags.com/, who are dedicated to a plastic bag free planet and have downloadedtheir tutorial for making a bag This is the link to the petition - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/40990And the Facebook event, if you’d like to share it or know what’s going on with it -https://www.facebook.com/events/450048178374965/
