Message in the waves

Watch the Message in the Waves trailer

This powerful BBC documentary has triggered a strong desire to reduce the environmental impact of our waste. Plastic carrier bags are really only part of the story, but they are an item that you the consumer can easily take out of the waste stream by simply using an alternative.

Bag Ladies Mission Statement

The bag ladies is a not for profit community group that exists in order to assist the traders of Hebden Bridge in finding a practical alternative to plastic bags that damage the environment and contribute to climate change. The vision is for a plasticbagfree Hebden Bridge. The objectives are:

To work with Hebden Bridge traders, residents, visitors to the town and with other partners to inform people of the problems with plastic bags.
To promote practical and environmentally friendly alternatives
To conduct research into alternatives
To promote the town and its traders as a plasticbagfree area
To celebrate the towns plasticbagfree achievements

The 'bag ladies' as a group has been a useful media friendly 'vehicle' to promote this campaign.. but we do not own it! If you have strong ideas on how to take the campaign forward then please contact us . We do not wish to hold on tightly to this initiative - afterall we did not start it, we followed Modbury's lead!

- or just go ahead and make changes happen, whether as a trader or a shopper.. and good luck!
