Beatrix Potter's old walled garden is to benefit from the 'I'm not a plastic bag' craze.

The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction has just launched a Bag for Life, which is made from organic cotton and produced without using any chemicals at all. Visitors to Potter's Monk Coniston garden can buy the bag for 90p with all profits going to the conservation of the garden.

Richard Foster from The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, said: 'We have been conscious of how many plastic carrier bags we were handing out at the attraction and felt it was time we did our bit in creating a beautiful souvenir of the attraction, which visitors will want to use again and again. The fact that the profits will go towards conserving one of Beatrix Potter’s favourite bits of the Lake District seems very fitting.'

Hope this trend catches on worldwide, where we see less of plastic bags and more of reusable bags, just like the one's we make and promote at SunCorp, want to see our range, please visit http://flickr.com/photos/suncorp
