Poverty was one of the main reasons behind yesterdays act so today let’s address that problem today!
Big businesses and governments target the poor for cheap labour and resources. Consumerism in wealthy countries is driving this thirst for cheap goods. It isn’t the poor that get rich, it’s the rich that get richer. This balance has to change because ending poverty is crucial to ending some of the problems faced by the environment. Unlike poverty, the problems with the environment will effect us all – rich or poor.

Find out some more great ways you can reduce your plastic here on a blog by Ayesha!
Nature already provides bananas with a protective skin that keeps it fresh for ages. There is no need to then take that off, place it in a polystyrene tray and rap it in plastic….it already comes with it’s own protective skin!!!!
