The War On Plastic

Great words from @Tesco CEO Dave Lewis, but these promises need to be fulfilled much, much faster. The Guardian: I want Tesco's packaging overhaul to plug into a new national framework. theguardian.com/business/2019/…

@BBCNews why do you put climate emergency in quotes? Is it not real enough for you? @GreenRupertRead

Send the supermarkets a message by leaving your plastic packaging at the till! (I work on a till and fully support any customer who does this!)

Daily reminder that major supermarkets are STILL not doing nearly enough to tackle single-use plastics @Tesco @sainsburys @asda @Morrisons @LidlGB

@sainsburys Hi Adam, please appriciate that simply ending the use of dark plastics by March is not enough. We need almost all plastic gone NOW. #WarOnPlastics #OurPlasticFeedback

@thewaronplastic You can find out more info regarding out commitment to reducing the amount of plastic we use, using the following link: bit.ly/2UQnpUS. Hope this helps. Adam

#OurPlasticFeedback this revolution is amazing! Big thanks to @bbc, @HughFW @itsanitarani for helping publicise this collosal issue. Over you you, @Tesco @sainsburys @asda @Morrisons @AldiUK @LidlGB !! #WarOnPlastic

@sainsburys Great! Is that 100 tonnes of packaging from products expected to be sold? Where is this number from?

@thewaronplastic Hi there, please be assured that we are cutting a further 100 tonnes of plastic packaging over the next year, as part of a drive to significantly reduce plastic packaging. Greg

@DelR91913043 In order to reduce plastic waste? It's not sustainable.

Excellent news from McDonald's. Next step: encourage customers to bring their own reusable cup and scrap the plasticated cup. #WarOnPlastic #waronplastics independent.co.uk/environment/mc…

Outstanding job by the @EcoverUK team on this innovation. Visited @waitrose in Oxford to see it in action. Very proud of the team!

@trying2keepsane @HughFW @Tesco @SAINSBURY @AldiUK @Huggies @Pampers Hi Julia, just to let you know we're not associated with the TV show or the BBC. Our interests are very much aligned though!

I'm playing catch up and watch @HughFW and @thewaronplastic . Totally shocked that @tesco @sainsbury @AldiUK @Huggies @Pampers didn't even want to engage. My daughter is always saying 'save the turtles'. They need to all start listening and stop thinking only of profits.

@donnafraser20 Yes quite right! Vote with your wallet.

Also next step: replace Happy Meal toys with a sustainable alternative - now! #OurPlasticFeedback

Fed up with unnecessary plastic packaging from the supermarkets? Write your message on a piece of it, add #OurPlasticFeedback, hand it back to your supermarket, and let us know on here that you have! #WarOnPlastic

The end is neigh @Tesco @sainsburys @asda @Morrisons @LidlGB @AldiUK. The race is now on to see who can adapt the fastest. Adapting faster = more customers! #OurPlasticFeedback #waronplastic #waronplastics

We’ve had enough of so much unnecessary #plastic packaging all over our supermarket shopping. So supermarkets, this is #OurPlasticFeedback! Watch episode 3 of #WarOnPlastic TONIGHT at 9pm @BBCOne to find out more. RT and let’s spread this message far and wide! #plasticpollution

@Tesco @sainsburys @asda @Morrisons change is inevitable! You should each strive to be the leaders. #OurPlasticFeedback #WarOnPlastics #WarOnPlastic

@Tesco remove your plastic packaging! RT to endorse. #waronplastic #waronplastics

So @Tesco say that they could remove plastic packaging tomorrow if it was the right thing to do. I think it’s the right thing to do. I reckon @itsanitarani thinks it’s the right thing to do. What do YOU think? #WarOnPlastic #OurPlasticFeedback

Conversation overheard at @Tesco checkout today: Dad: Can I have a bag please Daughter (around 9 or 10): Daddy bags are bad because they go in the ocean and kill fish. Dad: Don't be silly, how would they get to the ocean if we put them in the bin? 🤦‍♂️ #waronplastics #waronplastic
