Was out yesterday with my litter picker picking plastic bags from the trees great fun, and also did a photo short for the local paper so anyone in Oxford look out in the Oxford Mail or Didcot Herald. Don't let me down lets really go for it with a last attempt to get those 25 people onboard.

I now have 14 people who have pledged to participate in the pledge, so only 36 more to go. Just to remind you to please please let friends and colleagues who might be interested in pledging know about what we are doing. Doing it together is what matters and if we crack the big 50 then we can go to town on our plastic bag hunting and really make a difference. Take care Ann http://www.pledgebank.com/plasticbaghunt#comment_920852 Hi all you wonderful people who have signed up to the plastic bag hunt pledge, thank you so much. Time is ticking on and I still need 41 people to fulfill the pledge in order to start our hunt. I need your help, can you think of someone who might be interested in signing up to the pledge. If you all pass on an email to your friends then we can reach the magic 50 and all carry out the action together. Please please pass on info about the project and the pledge I would be very grateful for any support. ('Frisco Plastic Bag Ban Updated: 10:38, Thursday March 29, 2007 San Francisco city leaders have approved a ban on plastic grocery bags. It follows weeks of lobbying on both sides from environmentalists and a supermarket trade group. When Mayor Gavin Newsom signs the ban as expected, San Francisco would be the first US city to adopt such a rule. The law requires large markets and stores to give customers only a choice among bags made of paper that can be recycled, plastic that breaks down easily enough to be made into compost, or reusable cloth. The measure is designed to rid the city of petroleum-based plastic bags, which have been blamed for litter and clogged landfills). Best wishes Ann Rapstoff http://www.pledgebank.com/plasticbaghunt#comment_856249 You inspired me to open up the same pledge! Strangely enough I did a photo blog on this exact thing a few weeks ago! Looking forward to joining you in your pledge! http://www.xanga.com/citril/576417514/weekly-photo-challenge.html
