Say no to plastic bags and bring a tote bag with you when out shopping
Say no to plastic bags and bring a tote bag or two with you when out shopping
Bringing a few tote bags with you when shopping is a really easy way to stop relying on plastic bags. This can really help protect our wildlife and the environment.
In the UK, over 5 million tonnes of plastic is used each year and only 1/4 is recycled. The other 3/4 take hundreds of years to break down, polluting soils, rivers and oceans.
With so much of this plastic entering our environment, harming wildlife and damaging ecosystems, it's more important than ever that we stand up to plastic.
The good news is that it's easy and inexpensive to do! By saying no to plastic bags and bringing your own non-plastic alternatives with you next time you shop, you'll be taking a stand against plastic and showing your support for a more sustainable future.
