Did you know that WI members caused a stir in 2006 when hundreds of members visited their local supermarket en masse to leave excessive packaging at the tills? #WarOnPlastic #OurPlasticFeedback

Are you ready for #NationalRefillDay tomorrow? 🌍💦 Going beyond simply refilling water bottles (a crucial first step in cutting #singleuseplastic) these are my favourite #reusables for #refill on-the-go...☕️🚰🥪🥗🍉 What are yours? @CitytoSea_ @Refill #RefillRevolution

Please take a few minutes to watch Guy Singh-Watson’s rant about plastic packaging & climate change & tell your MP what you think. Thank you @Riverford
Perplexed by plastic? Riverford founder pursues a 12 year obsession, calling on Gove to show sustained leadership to create a unified recycling system that will help us all do the right thing. @recycle_now #RecycleWeek

The WI was formed during the First World War to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food, and as part of #ThankYou100 we are going to be celebrating the #InspiringWomen who helped keep the home fires burning.
Please watch and share our #EndPlasticSoup video highlighting the WI’s campaign on microplastic fibre pollution and the small steps you can take to help!
