Taken from the Enviromental Agency site, for anyone interested......
I must admit, I always feel extremely guilty using plastic carrier bags when I am shopping and I really feel I can improve on this, even if it is by using my Tesco carriers next time I go to Sainsburys!
What you have saved
Every promise you make for World Environment Day helps to make a difference. You've already made a huge difference, but if you haven't signed up to all the promises, go back and see if there's anything else you could do.
You've saved:
22 olympic sized swimming pools full of water
200 km of bags laid end to end, which is equivalent to the journey from Manchester to London
Enough carbon dioxide that you would have emitted by driving 207 times round the Earth
10 tonnes of rechargeable batteries
Almost eight months worth of time devoted to a green community project
Your favourite promise is to only boil the water you need in your kettle, and the least popular is payback your air travel. A return flight from London to Tenerife would only cost £4.74 to offset, so this summer try and pay back the emissions from your holiday.
The people who have promised the most regionally are from the North East of England. The city that has promised the most is London closely followed by Bristol, and then Leeds.
The group that have made the most promises are women aged 25 - 34.

I do have a few at home Colin :shy: Therefore, I pledge to return them to Tesco's recycle bin this week.
I am going to stop short of getting one of those trolleys my Mum had but I must find a better way to get my shopping to the car instead of via 20 plastic carrier bags every time I go.

I joined here and next Sunday I am giving up 4 hours to coach young offenders cricket. If you have any spare time, make or join a pledge. It is worth it.
