We all need to be minimising plastics where we can and, for those we do need, making sure we can make them last. So, this #WorldEnvironmentDay let's all take action by considering how we can avoid single-use products (plastic or not). #PlasticPollution #LetsDoNetZero

We were shocked at this picture. 📍Holyrood Road, in Edinburgh. About 500m from the @ScotParl This clearly shows the extent of littering problems in areas and why we should all work towards a Deposit Return Scheme that includes glass / encourages everyone to recycle♻️

Scotland's deposit return scheme will collect 1.5 billion bottles and cans every year, which would otherwise have been littered, landfilled or incinerated. @RishiSunak we need to support this scheme and work towards a cleaner and more sustainable environment #ReturnToRishi

APRS and @KeepBritainTidy are urging @RishiSunak to ‘step up’ and include glass in England's deposit return scheme. standard.co.uk/news/politics…

Sunak urged to ‘step up’ and include glass in deposit return scheme

Environmental campaigners say a failure to do so will mean a ‘weaker’ scheme than in Scotland.
