Reducing carrier bag usage - because plastic isn't fantastic!
WHSmith has been working with the Woodland Trust to cut plastic bag usage for a number of years. Whilst progress has been made, UK shoppers are still getting through almost 10 billion bags a year, causing real damage to the environment.
To help try and cut that number, WHSmith customers are able to buy a high-quality reusable bag for 7p, made from 100% recycled materials.
As well as reducing waste going to landfill, each purchase will see a donation being given to the Woodland Trust to provide 700 free tree packs to schools this spring. Thanks to W H Smith's support the Trust will be able to provide 21,000 school children with the opportunity to plant a tree.
