Plastic Bags? Captain Banplastic says "NO"!

Captain Ban-Plastic writes – Calling all shoppers! Calling all shoppers! Captain Ban-Plastic here with an important opinion on the current EU debate regarding banning plastic carrier bags. It will come as no surprise to you that I am IN FAVOUR of this because I love the positive alternatives – plastic-bag free countryside, stronger bags that don’t split and the chance to personalise these strong and longer lasting bags to your own taste.

We here at The Clever Baggers can supply one bag, a hundred bags or a million bags of all different sizes and colours and with ANY design on it – from your favourite quote to a picture of your second favourite dog. Big bags, little bags, cotton bags, printed bags – I am Captain Ban-Plastic and we don’t do plastic bags, because they are a scourge on the Nation!

What we do, and what I love, is giving you the chance to have a long-lasting, personalised, strong and soft bag for your shopping, your picnic, your books, your laptop or anything else that you want to carry around.
I say – Ban the Plastic Bag. For all the best reasons, for a greener countryside, for a sustainable way of life and for a greater future for our children, our chickens and our wildlife.

Captain Ban-Plastic Explores Hemp Bags - The Perfect Solution to Plastic

Hi all you clever baggers, Captain Ban-Plastic here to tell you a little about hemp – one of my favourite eco-friendly materials!

Firstly, the green bit: Hemp is a sustainable, quick growing plant, which replenishes the soil and requires little or no pesticides. (It is the distant cousin of that other hemp plant.) Hemp fabric is durable, strong, and feels great - a fabric that improves with age, and is recyclable. It can be woven, printed, dyed and sewn into a huge variety of designs and it softens and develops even more character with use. I love it – it feels silkier as it gets older and looks like the coolest fabric as it wears over time.

Secondly – the range of bags from Sativa is incredible. They have some clever people who source this remarkable fabric and stitch it together into bags, hold-alls, laptop bags and a host of other useful varieties. All are practical, versatile, and have great details and hidden treats (though we will tell you all about them in the descriptions!)

    

Thirdly – Let’s not beat around the hemp bush. These bags are great value. Long lasting, green, fashionable, individual and unique - helping you be a modern, thoughtful, fashion and function conscious consumer. And showing that you hate plastic, just like me.

But you don’t have to wear the cape and put your pants on outside your trousers – that’s my job and I like it.
So if you are interested in a bag that is both perfect for travelling on the daily commute or for packing up your dreams and aspirations for the trip of a lifetime, get some hemp in your life and reap the rewards of natures greatest harvest.
