Did you know that during one week last year, the UK threw away two billion pieces of plastic, only 12 per cent of which was recycled?
The Big Plastic Count is a nationwide initiative to reveal how much plastic the UK throws away. Churches throughout the UK – including those in the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership – are being asked to play their part in a new awareness campaign running for six days in March.
You can play your part by monitoring your rubbish and completing a chart. The results will be used to convince UK government ministers to lead the way at the Global Plastics Treaty talks in 2024, and push for a really strong treaty.
Taking part in The Big Plastic Count is really easy. Here’s what you need to do:
