Pershore's Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt was joined by colleagues in Pershore town centre last Saturday to hand out free re-useable shopping bags as part of a promotion to cut down on the use of disposable plastic bags.
Richard Burt said: "Millions of disposable plastic bags are dumped in landfill every year. They can be a danger to wildlife and an eyesore if they are left blowing around.
"We were able to give away armfuls of free re-usable bags and I was delighted how receptive people were to our message. Many shoppers we met have already stopped using plastic bags and carry their own re-useable bag to the store when they shop."
