I have tried to encourage as many people as possible to use re-usable bags and inform about the harm they do to the environment. I am a member of my schools Eco Committee and we do a great to help reduce waste in this issue however the messages we put across and are being put across across the country is not getting through to the general public. I have also got in contact with my local MSP, Mr Kenny MacAskill to raise my concerns. He has replied to inform me about the work of the government already and I believe that this petition is the next step we must take to tackle these issues based upon what he has told me about.
