7:00 pm: Talks at Tuppenny Barn - Final Straw Solent


January 28, 2020

Bianca Carr the Founder of Final Straw Solent, a non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) working with local communities and businesses to highlight the impact of plastic pollution on our environment and to try to minimise the amount of plastic entering our local seas and wider oceans. They started in Emsworth in 2018 as a group of volunteers giving their time to help clean up our local community spaces and, in time, the surrounding areas. They originally focussed on encouraging businesses to cut back on the amount of disposable, pointless plastic that is used. Bianca and volunteers ran a few beach cleans and started talking to the local communities in the Solent area, and grew from there. The company now works with many different types of businesses on sustainability, helping them to find ethical and sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic in their activities. They have a very busy school outreach programme and have reached thousands of children in the Solent area through assemblies and workshops. In addition, they work with community groups, giving talks and running activities and encouraging people to avoid single-use plastic and how to best dispose of it if they do need to use it.

9:00 am: Return the Plastic at Sainsbury's in Bognor

9:00 am: Return the Plastic at Sainsbury's in Bognor


February 22, 2020

The intention behind the event is to chat to customers and raise awareness of the sheer amount of single-use and unnecessary plastic packaging which is used. We will be encouraging shoppers to take the packaging off the goods that they have bought (plastic from the packs of loo rolls, for example) and we will then put that plastic into a shopping trolley manned by a volunteer. By the end of the event, shoppers will be able to see how much unwanted plastic has been accumulated.
We will also be promoting Sainsbury's intention to sell milk and fizzy drinks in returnable glass bottles starting this year.
We welcome mums and dads with children who want to attend too.
