@SarahsGarden12 @DirtyGardenH0E @lovely_plot @plantsbloke I noticed that last years fallen borage seeds at my allotment have all decided to germinate in the last week or so, so maybe try them?

@DaveGoulson @B_Strawbridge @Kate_Bradbury @ChrisGPackham walked into @Tesco & saw this. I left feeling very angry & upset. Enjoy your garden with the Insects 🐜🐝🐞🕷🕸🐌.

Hey @McDonaldsUK, how about scrapping #HappyMeal balloons, toys and straws in your kids meals and replacing them with a branded reusable cup?

[Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK]

Single-use #plastics waste needs to be drastically reduced.

We’re calling for evidence to tackle the issue - and I want British businesses and universities to lead the world in creating innovative solutions to tackling this global problem.

RT @BumblebeeTrust: If you find me looking tired & stranded, best thing to do is pop me onto a flower. If there aren’t any flowers around, a few drops of sugar water (made from equal parts water & white sugar) can help. Remember to leave me outside so I can 'bee' on my way asap!

Seriously @Starbucks - an apple with a perfectly good skin wrapped in two layers of #pointlessplastic? What are you thinking? Not about the #ocean that’s for sure. Ironic find en route to the #OceanSummit in Mexico @OneLessBTL @sascampaigns @ZSLMarine @FishNotPlastic

#Starbucks serves 4 BILLION+ plastic-lined cups, lids & straws each year, most aren't recyclable. Demand they address #StarbucksTrash 👉 https://t.co/tkIMnjTBhg #starbuckstrash #breakfreefromplastic

An estimated £140 million worth (350,000 tonnes) of clothing goes to landfill in the UK every year. Extending the average life of clothes by just 3 months would lead to a 5-10% reduction in the carbon, water and waste footprints. #ethicalfashion

Wanted: old #surfboards (Real ones, not bodyboards)
Need to be presentable but don't need to be usable in water, if that makes sense.
Please let me know if you hear of any, looking for several.

Every half of a second, this much plastic makes it into the worlds oceans. #plasticpollution
So about 10 times this much has entered in the 5 seconds it took you to read this. #saveouroceans

Disappointed to see that @sainsburys are still selling loose broccoli at £1.55/kg and plastic wrapped broccoli from Spain at £1.34/kg - time to encourage and go #plasticfree surely!

[Dawn Preston @snoringdormouse]

Beautiful afternoon at #HillHead beach looking over a peaceful, sunlit #solent Pretty clean but a small bagful collected of the usual #plastic culprits on my #2minutebeachclean @GreenHampshire @2minbeachclean @mcsuk

[IndustrialRevolution @2016industrial]

Today I bought a vintage metal 24” 6 blade fan. With the intention of creating something with it. Until I find out it’s worth £130 as a fan. Ooooh the dilemma!! Do I become a Fan salesman for a short while or get creative? 🤯🤯🤯 #workshops #woodworking #UpcycledHour #preloved

Oh at last!

So change the stupid sleeve then! Come on! It’s not good enough!

Please @LucozadeEnergy step up! If the machines can’t read through the sleeve take the dam thing off! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Be responsible!

It’s our planet! No 🌍B

DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!

[Onelesspieceofplastic @olppindia]

Atleast 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year.That's similar to emptying a garbage truck of plastic into an ocean every minute.There is more microplastic in the ocean than there are stars in the Milky Way.60-90% of marine litter is plastic-based.

UK cyclists wasted an average of 0 hours in rush-hour traffic last year, costing each cyclist £0, a study suggests.

[Artisan chocolates @Artisanchocs1]

Come on @BurgerKing so much #plastic at @BristolAirport Burger King today. No other options. Surely it’s time to be #plasticfree in such a large company? @LessPlasticUK
