Our Final Straw initiative is growing fast. Every day we are joined by more businesses, we are trying to get out there and see as many of them as possible and give them information and their Final Straw certificates and window stickers. We are working hard on social media to spread the word about stopping the use of plastic straws and single-use plastics. We are hoping to start a school outreach programme soon, going into local schools to chat to primary and secondary school children about the importance of making environmentally sound decisions about single-use plastics. All this needs time, which we are happily giving, around family and work commitments – but it also needs some funding. If you can help us with this, even if it’s just a couple of pounds to help us continue, that would be totally amazing. So far we have funded everything out of our own pockets, but this isn’t sustainable for us! If you would like to help, please visit our funding page here!

Thank you so much in advance!

Bianca, Lissie & Giles.

    The Ghost of Christmas Waste

    The festive season can generate lots of waste, but the Final Straw Foundation offers some tips to help curb this. Primarily, try more sustainable packaging for online orders and use recyclable wrapping paper. Donating unwanted gifts instead of trashing them, as well as being mindful of Christmas food waste, can make a difference. Also, reducing plastic waste at Christmas is crucial, with options such as kerbside recycling, and plastic-free alternatives for gifts and food. Visit the full blog post to find out more!
