So the time has come to officially say goodbye! With the ban on plastic straws in England from today, we have served our purpose. Proud to have been part of the grassroots movement that helped to drive this change. Thanks to everyone for their support! X https://t.co/Ze5tRmYuAO

Thrilled to announce that @hertscc have agreed to set an example and implement a ban on intentional balloon and sky lantern releases on land they own/control. Thank you to everyone who signed our petition! #dontletgo

Local green-minded friends, look at these beautiful local flowers I was given as a gift yesterday, provided by Harpenden community flower farm Plot31. My friends know me well; no air-miles & no plastic = no guilt. If you're looking for a gift .... https://t.co/Si14veDrNu

This is HUGE. This coffee shop in Harpenden is getting rid of single use coffee cups completely, starting tomorrow. If you forget your reusable cup, there will be one you can borrow using their loan scheme. A bold and brilliant move and one we should all support! #plasticfree

@NorthHertsSam @plasticfreesta @SustFest19 Yes but unfortunately much more expensive when there’s 4 of you!

Campaign update! #byefornow #notreally https://t.co/n9gHg6BqYQ

[Ver Valley Society @VerValleySoc]

Due to entirely predictable circumstances, the #RiverVer is unable to host a 4-mile 'Magic of the Mayfly' walk for yet another year. We recommend that you visit our near neighbour @RiverChess next Saturday to enjoy this #chalkstream spectacle.

Know a creative 4-11 year old? Our fun competition is looking to engage kids on the topic of plastic pollution by asking them to design a new paper straw that we can make commercially available https://t.co/lYILGJxHFS

[Plastic Free St Albans @plasticfreesta]

So proud to have brought local artists and businesses together to present the #BlueDotArtTrail - launching TODAY for #sustfest19 #spotthedot and be inspired! All trail details at https://t.co/LLSIZJx9Tn because less is more when it comes to single use plastics

[Plastic Free St Albans @plasticfreesta]

Good news! We have all the signatures we need to get our petition against balloon releases in front of @hertscc. With 113 online and 172 paper, we are well over the 250 threshold. Big thanks to the Refill Pantry, and @OutPlastic for the help! #balloonsblow #dontletgo
