Funky Canvas was created and is managed by graphic designer Joanne MacRae. Based in Aboyne, Royal Deeside, a beautiful area in the North East of Scotland ... the perfect inspiration for our botanical prints and canvases. The collection of photographic prints and canvases follow a botanical theme and have been taken mainly in Scotland. As time goes by no doubt I will seek inspiration further afield ...

True, the supermarket Tesco are introducing a better option, but they should also make public how long it takes for these bags to break down. It could be 1000 + years, depending on what measures they are taking. Claiming they will cut out billions of bags is great, and lets hope they train their staff to ask customers if they'd like a bag. This is useful when buying something as a single item which can be placed in the handbag, carried or when you bring your own.
