An actual high street repair shop, great idea. Come to the Trinity Rooms in Stroud today for the local Repair Café and our monthly meeting on reducing plastic ☀️

The horrible environmental cost of 'home compostable' bioplastics. So many of us don't know about this. And so many of us don't even have composting facilities - what happens to this material then? Find out here: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Excellent info on the complexity and threat to the environment of bioplastics. We must avoid all types of plastics and all types of single-use packaging wherever we can. There is no magic material that will allow continued rampant consumerism
