Andrew Bradbury, Adur Green Party Chair, said: “We’ve all seen the devastating impact of plastics upon ocean wildlife and the natural world but there is also growing concern about the impact of plastics on human health.
“Sometimes it’s easy to feel powerless before a tidal wave of plastic, but we, as Greens, believe that collective changes in consumer behaviour do have an impact on the decisions of companies and governments.
“That’s why we’re making The Adur Plastic Pledge and calling on people to join us.”
