If you ask: ‘What can I do today?’ Remember the journey of 1000 miles starts with 1 step. Here is a suggestion for that step: search “plastic free living tip swap” on your phone / tablet to find simple things you can do to reduce reliance on plastics. Perhaps order/buy articles such as bird boxes, hedgehog homes, or insect hotels from the talented Men’s Shed.
