Members of the Plastic Free Letchworth team were in the town centre on Monday raising awareness of the first ever World Refill Day.
World Refill Day takes place on June 16, and ‘City to Sea’, the organisation which is coordinating events nationally, is encouraging people to join in by bringing their reusable water bottles, coffee cups and other containers into town to use on the day.
Every time someone refills a bottle rather than throwing a plastic one away, they are reducing the amount of plastic which reaches the ocean.
Monday 12 April 2021
If 22 April is a date to reflect on all we need to do for the survival of all, let’s celebrate this date every day. Obviously, we can’t shop our way out of many of the planet’s most challenging environmental situations but, by being more conscious consumers, we can choose products that in some way consider the threats facing us, or actively aim for positive impact. Here are some thoughts on what to get for the home, what to gift and what to take away – and how to measure our footprint and that of the brands we support – to make our lives a little greener.
