Bright, early and a slightly chilly start this morning to kick off the #RubbishCampaign We're calling on the UK Government to ensure that the UN plastics treaty helps end the world’s rubbish problem, especially for those living in poverty!

Great morning in Westminster sharing with MPs about the opportunity that the UN Plastic Treaty is to end the plastic crisis and its impact on people living in poverty. #RubbishCampaign #RubbishChallenge #PlasticWaste

Dear Rishi Sunak Keir Starmer, whatever other political games you play, please don't be irresponsible and use the #ClimateCrisis as a political football and allow it to become part of identity politics. We are reaching tipping points and we must work together to find solutions.

Voters want green policies- Polling of 3,000 adults by Opinium found that, for voters who voted Conservative in 2019 and planned to vote Labour next year, 57% felt the PM had “not gone far enough” on tackling climate change #climatechange thetimes.co.uk/article/tories…
