PLASTIC FREE TEWKESBURY

Plastic Free Tewkesbury is part of the Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Communities Network. Our aim is to reduce single-use plastics in our town.

​

There's no denying that plastic can cause problems at every stage of its lifecycle- from it's production (fossil fuel extraction, air pollution), during use (leaching chemicals) and in its disposal (polluting the environment, harming wildlife, lasting forever in landfill).

 

Plastic can be a really useful material. We don't want to remove all plastic, but we do want to tackle the avoidable single-use plastics that get used once (perhaps only for a couple of minutes) before being thrown away.

 

Think coffee cups, plastic spoons, polystyrene containers... How many of us have seen these items littering our beautiful town?

​

Together, we can take action!
