Plastic Bags... G.C.B.P.
Status: Active
 THE GUERNSEY COMMUNITY BAG PARTNERSHIP (GCBP) is a collaboration between the Guernsey Climate Action Network (G-CAN) and local retailers with the aim of encouraging shoppers to make the switch from disposable plastic carrier bags to reusable shopping bags.
Our long-term aim is to see an end to the free distribution of disposable carrier bags in Guernsey.
The purpose of this initiative is:
- to reduce the amount of waste entering Mont Cuet
- to reduce the plastic pollution in our marine environment.
- to reduce the plastic bags that litter the island.
- to encourage more sustainable behaviour.
How are we doing it:
- Presentations to the retailers using film and slides to show the effects plastic bags are having on our local environment.
- Presentations to the public, schools and other organisations.
- Christmas ‘07 campaign ‘Bring your bag shopping this Christmas’.
