No I don't want to be charged for a bag! Just recycle them.

Boycott Pret for handing out large thick plastic bags to cutomers just for a sandwich or panini. Other cafes use paper bags or even smaller bags.

Thanks for the comments on this. You might want to sign the Greenvoice.com petition to get some compulsion to reduce excess packaging in this country? It's on my latest post here: http://www.greenjellybean.org.uk...-say-no- to.html.
