SIGN THE PETITION! 👇👇👇 We’re calling on high-street chains & businesses across the UK to start accepting reusable coffee cups, containers and water bottles again. We know that we can stay safe & look after the planet at the same time.

Reusable containers are safe to use during Covid-19 pandemic, say experts. Let's keep up the momentum to avoid single use!

Our eduction team, Nick & Caroline, have been out speaking at another fabulous primary school working hard to reduce their single-use plastics. Over 200 kids joined us to learn about marine life and the effects of plastics on the oceans. #OceanHeroes #PlasticFree #education
Great to see the Manchester bee paper straw is now available in this diminutive size, just in time for Christmas cocktails
The Manchester Bee Paper Sip Straw is now available and it's the perfect size for cocktails, G&Ts and mixed drinks!
It may be shorter, but it packs the same sting — 3ply, super strong, 100% recyclable and a donation to @mcr_charity.

We've been awarded funding to organise a summer 2020 conference in Salford/Manchester covering initiatives by local authorities nationally to deal with single-use plastics. Ideas welcome! #singleuseplastic #WasteManagement

Retweet far and wide please! Simple but important message about #hedgehogs.
Remember, remember #hedgehogs on bonfire night 5th November. This can be a dangerous time for them. Before they are lit, hedgehogs see them as a great place for nesting. Build your bonfire on the night of your fireworks 🎇 party. @PTES @WildlifeMag @ThePhotoHour @WildlifeTrusts

Some of the amazing photographs, taken by our guests @SeaStrawUK which the school have been looking at this morning swapping plastic straws for paper ones is just one way we can dramatically improve the health of our oceans and the animals living there #MMScience @FrogfishPhotos
We had a fabulous day inspiring the 230 children of Meltham Moor primary school about the wonders of the underwater world, the fun creatures that live in our precious seas and how to keep them plastic free!
#WarOnPlastic
The oldest nursery children have joined the rest of the school in a special assembly to learn about the devastating effects of single use plastics in our oceans - amazing photos of the animals who live in our seas #MMScience @FrogfishPhotos @SeaStrawUK

This month we're promoting awareness of single-use #plastics & how we can reduce them. Today @SeaStrawUK visited to talk about Plastic in our Oceans: "It’s estimated by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We need to take action & start with the simple things."
