"Modbury was the first town in England to become a plastic-bag free zone and now Kew, a picturesque village in London, is joining the club. As a result of a local, high-profile campaign by the likes of Zac Goldsmith (founder of Ecologist magazine and local Conservative candidate), 50 local shops, including the Royal Botanical Gardens, have agreed to give up giving out plastic carrier bags as of July 1. Instead a cornstarch, biodegradable bag that is fully compostable will be made available for a small charge. Nice cotton shopping bags will also be available."http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/another-village-goes-plastic-bag-free.php
