It’s time for Lambeth Council to take more and faster steps to tackle single-use plastics within the borough and within its own operations. 

Council communications always focus on recycling and I’d like them to work harder at reducing waste in the first place within the borough. Plastic recycling simply does not work and is not an effective solution to our waste. Now that we can’t ship it off to other countries to deal with, more and more is being incinerated which is a disaster for our climate.

Thank you to everyone who signed in their support of this with me. I’d hoped to go to their January meeting but have to aim for February now instead. I’m not expecting miracles but will report back.
