This has just been posted on FB by a local person who set up a Zero waste shop in the village a year ago.
"What’s happened in a year?
I’m gonna start with the main reason we opened the shop, to reduce single use plastic.
? 2,537 cleaning refills ?
In a year, just on cleaning products, you have refilled 2,537 containers. That’s JUST cleaning products. No toiletries, no hand soap, no oat milk, no oils, vinegars, no food, just cleaning! I think that’s pretty amazing ?. In our little shop, you guys have saved 2,537 bottles being sent to landfill ?. And don’t forget all our cleaning products are on a closed loop system, which means the containers are taken back to the supplier, washed and reused. ?"
They also set up the Repair Cafe. Lovely people.
