  • Plastic lasts for ever and we are using it to make one use, throwaway items. We have created everlasting rubbish and plastic litter is increasing exponentially. Plastic pollution is destroying the landscape, killing wildlife and poisoning the seas.
    .
    Evidence is also emerging that the plastic we use in everyday to wrap our food, wear next to our skin and use to decorate our homes may well be poisoning us.
    .
    For more reasons to cut your plastic consumption click on the image below - it is of a bird that died from ingesting plastic.
    .
