Dear All
You may be interested to know that Sustainable Oban have just sent off a letter to find out a bit more about Tesco's free biodegradable plastic carrier bags.
Here's the letter:
Tesco Customer Service
PO Box 73
Baird Avenue
Dryburgh Industrial Estate
Dundee
DD1 9NF
Dear Madam, dear Sir
Re: "Biodegradable" plastic carrier bags from Tesco Stores
In view of the upcoming UK PLASTIC-BAG FREE DAY on 12th September, we have noted with interest that Tesco Oban now give away "biodegradable" plastic bags.
Some of our members would be most interested to know a little more about the source and composition of these plastic bags.
We would also be interested to know whether Tesco Oban have managed to bring down the use of free plastic bags over the past year or so, and if so, by how much. It is our personal impression that the environs of Tesco Oban continue to be blighted by plastic refuse, either tossed away by customers or strewn about because the bins placed in various spots on the car park are not wind or gull proof.
Looking forward to receiving your comments, we remain
yours sincerely
Margaret Powell-Joss, Secretary
PS: This letter will also be posted on http://obanplasticbagfree.blogspot.com, where we will be happy to post your reply upon receipt.

Well, so far the only result achieved has been for Tesco to get back suggesting we should sign up "today for 4 weeks free at Tesco Diets!" -- as if our wee organisation needed to lose any more weight!
