I've been researching how to live a plastic free life. It seems you can only achieve that with Zero Waste food shops, and they are few and far between in the UK outside London. Certainly none near me. Waitrose & Partners I really hope you will bring your refill stations to all your stores

Bought a soap dish to keep my shampoo bar separate from the regular soap. Got a stainless steel one that'll last a lifetime. It arrived in plastic wrap in a box inside a plastic delivery bag. Easy online shopping creates a lot of plastic waste 😞 #PlasticFreeJuly #plasticfree

Giving up crisps for #plasticfreejuly and hopefully forever 😔 Oh well, it will be good for my wallet, my waistline and my health #GoPlasticFree #PlasticFreeJuly

Really wanted to like the shampoo bar but it leaves my hair sticky greasy & horrible. Apparently they don't work with the minerals in hard water and ours is exceptionally hard. And I don't have time to mess about with vinegar rinses #PlasticFreeJuly #plasticfree #zerowaste

If ALL plastic wrap was replaced with compostable wrap and everyone dutifully put it in their compost bin, would the resulting compost be rich enough to grow plants? Most of it would be just wrappers Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Monty Don #PlasticFreeJuly #plasticfree #plasticwaste #WarOnPlastic

Switching to EcoLeaf recycled paper kitchen towels and toilet rolls. Made in the UK and packaged in compostable wrappers. From Ethical Superstore Natural Collection Morrisons Sainsbury's Aldi Stores UK Asda yours ought to be packaged like this NOW #OurPlasticFeedback #PlasticFreeJuly #goplasticfree

Bought some more Slice of Green cotton produce bags from Natural Collection to avoid the single-use ones provided by shops. I find I use the small size most. @morrisons staff have been intrigued and supportive Sainsbury's Tesco Waitrose & Partners Asda Aldi Stores UK #OurPlasticFeedback #PlasticFreeJuly

😠. Sainsbury's why deliver my 4 frozen products in 3 separate carrier bags? They would've all fitted in one bag. No bag at all would have been even better! I know you take them back for recycling but it's best not to use them in the first place #OurPlasticFeedback #WarOnPlastic

Idk who wrote it but it needed to be said.

That year I watched the final swallow take her leave Through tears saved for my solitary walks Gathering up the last few flowers of September for someone Who could no longer go outside to see them This year the swallows left early And I have no one to gather flowers for.

It's the darkest day, so we touch the bottom and then float gently upwards with the light. May you leave your fears behind in the dark and look forward to the brighter days. May all that you carry become a little lighter with the return of the sun. This year more than ever...

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK. The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies. RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5
