Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have launched an online opinion poll to gather views on the future of throwaway shopping bags. The online poll can be found at www.bedfordlibdems.org , on the right of the homepage.

The question being asked is:

Throw away carrier bags are a significant contributor to climate change and a waste of resources. Reducing the number of throw away bags by just 25% is the same as taking 18,000 cars off the road. What do you think should be done?

Please let us know your views.
