Ponty to Ban Plastic Bags for a Day

Posted on December 8th, 2008 filed in Environment, Ponty, Rhondda Cynon Taff

Pontypridd could be the first plastic bag free town in Wales this week!

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is supporting Pontypridd Women’s Institute and Friends of the Earth in their campaign to make Pontypridd plastic-bag free with a special awareness day taking place this Friday.

Shopkeepers and market traders throughout the town are being encouraged to stop giving out plastic bags to shoppers in an effort to reduce the quantity sent to landfill. Pontypridd is the first town in Wales to date to launch such an exciting scheme.

Plastic Bag Free Pontypridd will take place in the town centre on Friday December 12th.

When will it be Aberdare’s turn to ban throwaway plastic shopping bags ?
