Absolutely delighted that GCHQ have joined the campaign to reduce single-use plastic in Cheltenham and now form an integral part of Plastic Free Cheltenham's steering group. #PlasticFreeCommunities #PlasticFreeCheltenham #SmallChanges #Everyonecandosomething

[GCHQ @GCHQ]

We're helping to reduce the use of single-use plastics in Cheltenham by backing the Plastic Free Cheltenham campaign.

We've already phased out plastic cups and straws and we're looking to do more

Day 1 of #plasticfreejuly - ordered an orangina in a small town in the alps and didn't even think to ask for no straw, but luckily it came with a cardboard straw! #refusesingleuse #plasticfree

Thank you to everyone that came to our litter pick on Saturday! We had a turnout of over 60 people and collected over 6,000 pieces of litter! The most common items were cigarettes, plastic and food packaging! #plasticfreecheltenham #PlasticFreeCommunities #plasticfree #litterpick

Wetwipes labelled and sold as flushable are made of plastic and are destroying our rivers and beaches and adding £90 million a year onto water bills.
Have you bought flushable wetwipes? ☠️🦑

#beachcleanup Day 127🌊

Another day full of small pieces of broken plastics.

This is why we have over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans. Just one piece of waste will slowly break down into potentially thousands of pieces.
