About:
Help stop plastic pollution from cotton buds NOW! We want people to sign and share the petition at switchthestick.org to ask UK retailers to change the stems of cotton buds from plastic to paper. 60% of sewage-related plastic pollution in the UK comes from cotton buds, with millions of them littering our riverbanks and coastline. UK Retailers are currently reviewing their policies on this issue so now's the time to let them know we care!
Plastic is now found in a THIRD of fish caught in Britain, including cod and haddock, and 83 per cent of UK-caught scampi are found to contain plastic particles. Sign the petition at switchthestick.org to ask retailers to switch cotton bud stems from plastic to paper.
Already switched / good guys: Johnson & Johnson, Waitrose, M&S, Coop.
Need to change: ASDA, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Aldi, Lidl, Boots, Superdrug.
You could mention these feeds in your tweets to get them to take notice of our campaign.
