https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/take-the-challenge/ coming in July - start your planning in plenty of time, visit your nearest zero waste shops, ask your supermarkets to help by providing loose or paper packed products - maybe they could use this as the basis of a promo advert?

I am taking the Plastic Free July challenge that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. Will you join Plastic Free July by choosing to refuse single-use plastics?

so how are you doing in the fight to reduce waste? On Un zero waste day, I achieved zero waste - no containers emptied - even Evie my cat managed to survive on chicken rather than sachets, but gosh it was hard. The most important thing was my increased awareness of ow much unnecessary wrapping we use, and how little we reuse in some way the packaging we have to have. Let's all keep wrinting to those who control our packaging and use the zero waste place as best we can. thank you for viewing this site

looking forward to my trip to the zero waste shop in Worcester on Saturday - got my rucksack full of empty containers and bags ready, already. Looking forward to the scenic bus journey via Inkberrow - such beautiful countryside.

so - plastic count week is over for this year. I need to sort the cat food and get those sachets recycled, but otherwise it was a good week - only 3 chocolate bar wrappers and 3 crisp packets,. I'm planning atrip to the zero waste shop in Worcester on the last Saturday in March to get ready for zero waste day on 30th March - that's a toughy as zero waste sounds like not even paper and tins.....maybe if I use local eggs and return the carton.....

March 30this United Nations International day of zero waste - What can you do to celebrate it?

almost time to count the plastic you use for a week and send the info to The Big Plastic Count. this info will then be used to pressure supermarkets, traders and the government into better ways of packaging, or even no packaging at all!.........I have been thinking it might be time to open a zero waste and locally made shop in Redditch. I wonder how may would support it....if the prices were as low as possible, bearing in mind transport costs come higher for small businesses and have to be added into the price.??????

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.
