Practically Plastic Free

Raising awareness of plastic pollution and providing simple and practical solutions for a plastic-less lifestyle.

Finally back to blogging after a 5-month hiatus. The title explains why! Have I managed to stay #plasticfree and what will the mini-series delve into? #pregnancy #zeroplastic https://t.co/QQe9M6jD9j

In self isolation with no deliveries available...glad to have my reusable period products when I woke this morning! This is a great time to try cloth sanitary pads, a menstrual cup or period pants like @shethinx if you haven't already. #StaySafeStayHome

I’m going to be running Fix-It February over on Insta to encourage people to have a go at those mending jobs we’ve all set aside “for later”. It’s a dark and gloomy month, what better time for snuggling up on the sofa with some sewing?

[Practically Plastic Free @prctplasticfree]

@ella_daish @superdrug @sainsburys Good luck! Really hope they listen...can't wait to see more eco choices and less plastic on the shelves. Supermarkets and other stockists have the ability to really drive a manufacturing change.

@SAPlastic2018 @StarbucksUK @HughFW @itsanitarani @Refill @RefillLondon Maddening!!!

[Sisters Against Plastic @SAPlastic2018]

Are you kidding us @StarbucksUK? What possessed you to think this horror of a promotion was a good idea for 2019?
FYI, clean water comes out of your taps.

@JUST We’ve made the switch to tea leaves - love making a fresh pot! But for those who prefer tea bags, we’ve made this handy guide for great plastic-free tea...

Finally found time to write my first tweet since giving birth...only took 4 months 😂 keeping #plasticfree whilst #parenting is super challenging. Definitely had to redefine what's practical for our new and ever changing lifestyle. One thing I do love is #clothnappies #clothbum

[Everyday Plastic @PlasticEveryday]

Erm, @HelloFreshUK, this is all the plastic from one delivery box. Tiny sachets of vinegar, pots of dried herbs etc. There are 32 pieces of plastic here. One a week for a year would generate 1,600+ pieces. Your 850k customers worldwide are throwing away BILLIONS. What’s the plan?

[Sylvia A. Earle @SylviaEarle]

We have to realize that the most important thing we take from the ocean is not minerals, not oil, not gas, not fish, not lobsters, not oysters – not a lot of things. It’s our existence.

Petition against mineral extraction in my local area, which if allowed, will have dire consequences on the environment (disruption of habitats, CO2 emissions from trucks, etc.) Please sign and share https://t.co/gpHalwxmFW

@sylvieverinder5 @2minbeachclean Have you seen the app @litterati you can record what you find and it forms a big database :)

[The 2 Minute Foundation @2minuteHQ]

I pick up any litter as I walk home from work everyday. Bout a 1/4 of a mile.
I heard an American tourist behind me say to her friend “I see a lot of these brits picking up trash, they do that here?”.
Yes. Yes we do.

@EnvMentalMummy @aplastic_planet Could we get rid of the thin, almost invisible plastic ties attached to clothes labels. They seem lethal when You consider where they'll end up. #protectmarinelife

[EnvironMentalMummy @EnvMentalMummy]

The plastic sleeves on greeting cards #DriveMeEnvironMental. Could we lose them please? And keep them plastic and glitter (😖) free? @aplastic_planet #OnePlasticFreeDay

[Practically Plastic Free @prctplasticfree]
