A BAG-FOR-LIFE scheme will be launched at the Eden shopping centre in High Wycombe on Sunday.

Shoppers will be able to buy the bags for £1 from the customer service desk.

They are made from 100 per cent recyclable jute material with proceeds going towards producing more and local "green initiatives and charities".

The launch of the scheme will be celebrated at the centre tomorrow with musical and acts and entertainers from 11am to 3pm.

This will include the Weapons of Sound' band, who make their music using recycled instruments; rubbish' jugglers; and stilt walkers.

Last year Wycombe Friends of the Earth and the Environment Centre urged shops moving into the centre - which opened this March - to not give out plastic bags.
