The plastics crisis is more urgent than you know. Recycling bottles won’t fix it

A deposit scheme for bottles won’t make a scrap of difference. This stuff is in our food, our clothes – and in us, writes John Vidal, a former Guardian environment editor

Don't forget to let us know if your local shop(s) is plastic-free or encourages you to bring your own containers in & we'll add them to the list on our website https://t.co/Y94K3BU4Jp

Today we showed Welsh Assembly Members just how easy it is to use a reverse vending machine! 🏴 Now it's time to get this system across the whole of the UK #depositreturn #DRS

Excellent to see AMs going to see the reverse vending machine with @mcsuk today! With cross-party support, there's no reason we can't get moving on a Deposit Return Scheme in Wales and across the UK. Check out our briefing here:
Very happy to bring this event to the @AssemblyWales alongside @mcsuk. A lot of interest already with politicians of all stripes coming to see the deposit return machine in action. We need this scheme in Wales! #StopThePlasticTide

Poundland 'gift of nothing' sparks criticism.. no surprise considering the absolutely bonkers use of plastic. As @siansutherland says: "This product is designed to go straight into the bin, but will last for 500 years."

The retailer's Valentine's Day gift, an empty heart-shaped package, angers environmental groups.

We are! And we'd love to see @esso, @Shell and @BP_plc taking action to change their approach to plastic. Signing up to the Refill scheme would be a great start!
Hey @Esso @Shell @BP_plc helpful staff have been filling up my water bottle but none of you seem to have signs or proper refill stations. Who’s up for making it easier for us to get free drinking water when we travel?

It really does highlight the disconnect. Great to see @campervanliving @2minbeachclean taking this opportunity to educate. We need people to wake up to this plastic pollution crisis https://t.co/1AVA8HoTpv
