Eden goes green with £1 bags
6:33pm Friday 11th July 2008
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.

This will include the Weapons of Sound' band.Does the band do requests? Perhaps a suitable song would be Fixing a hole from the Sgt. Peppers album. The lyrics Im fixing a hole where the rain comes in would be most appropriate for the complex!

Thanks Ivor for quoting the lyrics to your "hilarious" roof/hole pun above, I had no idea what you were going on about until the quote, who wrote this memorable song (and album)?
