The climate crisis can sometimes seem overwhelming. It can be hard to know where to start, or what will make a difference. Plastic is a great way to get people involved - everyone uses plastic a lot of the time, and it’s surprisingly easy to start reducing it.
We have partnered with DoNation to provide you with some tips on how you can look to reduce plastic waste in your everyday life.

A shift to a circular economy has the potential to provide significant health advantages while also helping to achieve a number of Sustainable Development Goals. The advantages include both immediate and indirect, such as cost reductions in the healthcare industry and reduced environmental consequences from manufacturing and consumption.
