SCRAP
news article 27th September 2011 taken from www.johnglenmp.com
Tony Langham has waged a determined campaign to rid Salisbury of plastic bags over several years. Last night, following the AGM of the local hospital, he invited me to attend a presentation by Roger Munford on the experience of Germany in driving forward packaging recycling over the past 20 years.
There are a number of lessons that can perhaps be applied to the UK's approach. I will be writing to DEFRA today to ask for a detailed examination of the "DSD experience" to determine how progress can be made on this matter. It is clear that boldness will be needed if we are going to remove the blight of unnecessary packaging and the consequent disposal problem – effective recycling on a bigger scale must be the sensible way forward. However, we also need to find a practical solution; one that is honest about the costs and legal barriers to implementing an effective policy change.

'The latest Salisbury PBF news' - January 2010 Following an email to Holland & Barrett they've made my year by going PBF- they are the largest UK business trading in the city who have accepted the challenge along with Julian Graves who are part of the H & B group; this amounts to almost 500 retail outlets home& abroad. When shopping there please tell them you're pleased they've taken this great step forward to protect & enhance our cities environment as well as the wider national environment.

"We hold the earth in trust for our children and grandchildren, and are merely custodians of the World for a short period of time. That's why I fully support the aims and objects of SCRAP to reduce plastic bags and unecessary product packaging in our City. It is a terrific initiative and I urge every shop and every citizen to get involved in the campaign."
