Great news from some of the high street retailers. Lets hope more follow suit as part of their festive campaigns.

⏰🗓️ Last week, the government’s (postponed) ban on plastic straws, stirrers & cotton buds in England came into force 🙌

Every year in England alone we use:
4.7 billion plastic straws 😯
316 million plastic stirrers 😮
& 1.8 billion plastic-stemmed cotton buds 😧

❗️By cutting out these single use items, it's one step closer to eliminating all avoidable plastic waste.
