According to KentOnline, group of British school children have created a campaign to persuade the Queen to stop using plastic bags.

The children have also targeted British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, as well as their local MP.

I’m not aware of the above peoples’ stance on the plastic bag debate - whether they still use them or not. Also, according to the article:

In any case, it’s great to see 9 and 10 year olds supporting their local Ban the Bag campaign, and being proactive about getting the message out.
