This article was written by Mark King, for guardian.co.uk on Wednesday 25th August 2010 16.14 UTC Customers at the UK’s leading supermarkets used 43% fewer carrier bags in 2009-10 than they did in 2006, when figures were first recorded, with 6.1bn single-use bags used in 2009-10 against 10.7bn four years earlier. According to the Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap), the amount of material used to make carrier bags has reduced by 39,700 tonnes per year in the past four years, but figures for May 2010 alone indicate that we may be seeing a return to greater usage. Data collected from Asda , Cooperative Group , M&S , Sainsbury’s , Somerfield (now owned by the Cooperative Group), Tesco and Waitrose shows that during the past year, total bag usage in the UK fell by 0.7bn, or 10%.

This article was written by Leo Hickman, for guardian.co.uk on Tuesday July 20th, 2010 What’s the best way to leave a legacy in a will for conservation causes? Daphne and Robin J, by email I must state from the outset that I see little point in me expressing which conservation causes I think someone should choose to support in their will. Such decisions are highly personal and each of us will have equally valid reasons why one charity should be chosen over another.
