In a time when single use plastic is contributing to the pollution of our oceans we need to limit their use as much as possible. 

Single use plastic ‘wet bags’ in changing rooms are completely unnecessary. Many of us now remember to bring plastic bags when shopping, so people can quite easily bring a bag from home for their wet items. Or, better yet, wrap them in a towel. 

If all the large chains such as Virgin Active, David Lloyd, Nuffield and Fitness First to name a few, stopped providing these bags and encourage members instead to bring their own, it would prevent tonnes of single plastic waste ending up in our oceans.
