Over 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic has been created across the globe and the rate of new plastic being made is set to double over the next twenty years. Too many of our products come in single use, unrecyclable plastic, and too much of that is ending up in our oceans. What are the worst offending items? What can we all do to reduce our plastic waste? Is living a plastic-free life as hard as it might sound?

We'll be joined by Jo Morley of City To Sea to discuss all that her organisation is doing to cut plastic pollution, including providing practical solutions, influencing changes in behaviour and championing reuse over single use. We'll also have contributions from owner of Clifton village-based zero waste shop Smaller Footprints, Grant Mercer.
