Plastic Pollution - Meeting

Half way through my holiday, but there is something coming up that I think needs to come to wider attention.
There will be a meeting of The Waste-Free Initiative at Kilverts, on Saturday 24th March at 11am, to look at ways of reducing the use of plastics and other waste in everyday life (including food and other packaging).
Although we have the plastic recycling bin as part of the regular refuse collection, there's still quite a bit they won't take (like plastic film), and there's also the problem of reducing the unwanted plastic before it gets to the consumer, in the supply chain. That's why initiatives like the new waste free shop in Crickhowell are such a good idea.
In the local area, too, it's probably worth thinking about the use of plastics in agriculture.
