Hi John,

After a huge month of election campaigning, we didn't want you to think we'd forgotten what month it is. In the final week of the all-important Plastic Free July, we've got some great stories to share. 

We're optimistic after seeing that Steve Reed, the new Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has committed to moving Britain to a zero-waste economy. Our communities have been making waves to lead the plastic free movement, and now we're hearing it from those in power. 

Now it goes without saying that big corporates are responsible for pumping out polluting plastics, but there are things that we can do ourselves to come at the problem from all angles. Take a look at our individual action plan and let's do this!
