We are pleased to announce the arrival of our Eco-Bags, which we are now selling in our Trust Shop in Welshpool. By purchasing these bags you can help the environment on both an international and local level as all the profits raised will be used by the Trust to protect and promote the species and habitats of Montgomeryshire.

In the time it takes you to read this another 3 million plastic bags will have been produced throughout the world. A staggering 500 billion plastic bags are produced each year requiring 60 million barrels of oil to manufacture them.

In the UK alone we use 150 million plastic bags per week, the majority of which end up on landfill sites or being burnt, which releases a plethora of toxic chemicals into the air. Only 1 in every 200 bags is recycled and this requires energy and resources to collect and process the bags.

The alternative is as simple as it is environmentally sound – Eco-Bags! Made of jute these bags are strong, spacious and long lasting. They are kinder to the hands and can be used for shopping and home storage. Why not use them to separate and store your weekly recycling?
