PLASTICS
From plastic bags and bottles found in nature and our oceans to plastic-related toxins present in the air, plastic pollution has become a global threat endangering the wildlife and impacting our health.
The abundant production of plastics is causing issues that can no longer be ignored. We are collaborating with Lambeth council and local action groups to tackle plastic pollution and encourage the development and use of sustainable strategies.

NATIONAL FRIENDS OF
THE EARTH
Plastic sticks around in the environment for ages, threatening wildlife and spreading toxins. Plastic also contributes to global warming.
Plastic is almost inescapable. Asking people to avoid plastic just isn’t realistic unless we get tough on the companies producing it.
We need the government to introduce a plan now that phases out plastic pollution.
