Trying to Recycle Plastic is a complete waste of time. It is so obvious that it is not a system that works for the masses. Government & corporations hide behind the recycling myth. A ban on needless single use plastic is the only way https://t.co/os8f4kL7ge #bbc #lessplastic

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5

UK plastic waste being dumped and burned in Turkey. ‘40% - or 210,000 tonnes - of the UK's plastic waste exports were sent to Turkey last year.’ Yep... the ‘recycling’ myth continues. https://t.co/AYvHiJzEQ1

Heated lunchtime debate in the @techspace office today - Convenience vs cost vs the environment with @mealpal doing a promotion day. Everyone was too scared to ask as they wanted the free food, but what is the stance on single use plastic @mealpal? #mealpal #plastic #lessplastic

Aldi to replace #plastic with #paper & #homecompostable bags from July.

Half the stores will have paper, half will have compostable.

No fossilfuel plastics.

Big plastic corporations bragging about volunteers cleaning pollution they have profited from creating. Privatise profits and socialize pollution. #Genius!

Doesn’t it look just great when the #plastic is taken away! Who would like this to be something that all supermarkets do?
