Don't Use Plastic Bags Anymore - Song

The Godwin Junior School Choir have been working with We Are What We Do, to highlight the environmental damage caused by plastic bags which gave them the impetus to write this song with their music teacher, Jenny Beeching. We Are What We Do published 'Change the World for a Fiver' in 2004, it contains 50 world changing actions including 'decline plastic bags'. Last year they brought this action to life with the fantastically popular - 'I'm not a plastic bag' , produced with designer Anya Hindmarsh.

We Are What We Do works with a range of local schools encouraging children to consider ways in which we can use our everday actions to change the world; they believe that small actions x lots of people = big change.
