A massive thanks to and for once again joining the and using reusable cups this Bank Holiday weekend. And thanks to for helping to make it happen. The hundreds of cups that were used will now be washed, and reused over and over again, creating a Circular Economy.

Organisations such as and should be doing the right thing and reducing single-use plastic. And should help to make this happen.

We are hugely grateful and have been truly inspired from David Attenborough. Blue Planet 2 in 2017 shone a light on the impact of plastic pollution and kickstarted years of action on plastic from businesses, councils, universities, organisations, and individuals.

Thank you Sir David. Happy birthday
Now let this be a moment to Sheffield. We need action on plastic now!

Happy Birthday Sir David, and congratulations on 100! 🥳

A lot has changed to the climate in your lifetime. Thank you for raising the alarm on climate change 🚨
