However hard we work to make a plastic or waste-free home, going out to eat or drink can be a minefield. Thanks to Blue Planet II, plastic straws are often no longer given by default but plastic cutlery, disposable plates and hard-to-recycle cups are still common.
SeaStraw are a local project encouraging pubs, bars and restaurants to avoid single-use plastic and look for sustainable alternatives. They’re doing a great job of encouraging city-centre businesses to change away from plastic and also have places signed up further afield, in Sheffield, the Lake District and beyond.
So if you’re going out, why not check out the SeaStraw map to find somewhere nearby. If you run a food or drink-based business and are still using disposable plastics, they can guide you on replacing them.
