Tesco are claiming they will only hand out plastic bags to people who ask for one, but I was in there the other night and the guy had one ready before I was at the till.
I dont think they are really serious about it, just looking for publicity.

Let's make Kew even greener!
Most independent traders in Kew have said goodbye to plastic bags - but there is more we can do!
I think that ZWIN, the Zero Waste Initiative for Local Business, could help:
"ZWIN aims to help organisations in the borough of Richmond to develop sound environmental policies in order to reduce energy and water consumption, reduce waste production, encourage recycling and the efficient use of resources. This is achieved through free environmental assessments, which are carried out on-site by trained volunteers. Where ZWIN's recommendations are put into practice, organisationss can benefit from reduced operating costs and improved environmental performance."
