Manchester needs to reduce its single use plastics. Lets start with the straw - Manchester lets go straw free #MancheSTRAW🚫

Dedicated to reducing the plastic usage in and around Manchester. First aim = rid this city of the plastic straw #Manchester #SAYNO2STRAWS

@HughFW @itsanitarani it seems @marksandspencer didn't watch your recent programmes. They have launched their version of the happy meal toy. Pointless and not a positive impact on the planet despite their claims. Did they really think this was a good idea?😡 #littleshop

@HughFW #plasticpollution great job Hugh. Tackling what many seem to want to ignore. You earn a 🏆 from all of us fighting plastics in Manchester

[StrawfreeMANCHESTER @StrawfreeMAN]

Yes yes yes. #manchester we played our part in this decision. You beautiful people🏆👍. The #Manchestraw🚫 campaign in 2018 was fun to be a part of but this is the news we have been waiting for #PassOnPlastic #plastic #mcr

[StrawfreeMANCHESTER @StrawfreeMAN]

We don't tweet much anymore but thats because so much good work has happened with eliminating plastic straws in #manchester. So many businesses (like in the photo) have changed their ways. Keep up the good work #MCR as we have taken millions of SUP out of circulation👏🏆

A sad state in #salfordquays today. Lots of rubbish and single use plastic in the waterways. #MancheSTRAW🚫 come on #manchester #salford we were doing so well

Cigarette butts are the biggest source of ocean trash in the world.
On third of all pieces of junk at our beaches.
Small, but dangerous! A health risk! Let’s get rid of them!

According to Scotland’s First Minister @NicolaSturgeon over half of the letters she receives from the youth are urging her to protect the oceans and tackle plastic pollution. #SeasTheFuture

Encouraging news from Ireland's government after the EU's move. Wouldn't it be lovely if the UK did the same ... #brexitorplastic #plasticfirst #stopsingleuse

#Manchester be a part of it. Be bold, be brave and reduce your single use plastics. With sponsors like @NatGeo then together we can do this https://t.co/QzdGa4tKm4

Enough plastic to fill a dump truck ends up in oceans every minute. Everyones New Year’s resolution should be to reduce plastic bottled water use by carrying an alternative. Take the pledge and pass it on. https://t.co/4BvRGvfF9c

No more plastic straws with Yakult drinks https://t.co/X8lWPdyHKp

A chance encounter I had with @christiandunn a year ago on Twitter & with @ChesterFoE we now have over 70 plastic straw free businesses and over 30 that have given up 3 items of plastic in #Chester - one of our team has also set up Chesters first #ZeroWaste shop @J_footprints

Another ghost net recovered yesterday. Btw, the net we recovered last week weighed 1.5 metric tons (!)

Corona is the first global beer brand to use plastic-free beer rings 🍻

[Greenpeace USA @greenpeaceusa]

Straws are only the beginning - we need to look at banning single-use plastics in their entirety. #BreakFreeFromPlastic
