BBC political editor Nick Robinson proved his green credentials by signing a pledge not to use plastic bags at an event on Highbury on Saturday.
Mr Robinson is pictured above with his colleague, BBC radio presenter Sheila Dillon. The two both live locally and attended the first plastic-bag-free day at Highbury Barn and supported the campaign to stop the use of plastic bags, which clog up the seas and rivers and choke wildlife.
Nearly 300 people signed up to agree to ditch using them in future and switch to reusable bags instead.
Participants were also given reusable Highbury Barn bags supplied by Highbury east Councillors or loyalty bags from Frank Godfrey the butcher.
The Highbury Soul band provided a buzz about the Barn and retailers were enthusiastic about the atmosphere and the number of people promising to give up their plastic bag habit.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
