Eco-Tip - When you're going out for a picnic, just Say No to Plastic disposables - Disposable plates, cutlery and straws are among the worst plastic pollution culprits. Like plastic bags and bottles, they're used just once, for a few  minutes, and then thrown away. Keep a metal or wooden utensils set in your purse or travel pack, or collect them when you are out and have a snack.  Also don't forget your reusable cup to avoid the use of a disposable cup in the coffee house.  The use of disposable plastic cups is still a major item of waste in the high streets. Let's follow Plastic-free July with plastic-free August!
