(ii) Supporting the accreditation as a Plastic Free Community
Further members are invited to consider the following motion:
That Shrewsbury Town Council recognises the devastating effects that single-use plastic can have on the environment and that only through
concrete, collective, positive action can we be able to stop the flood of plastic pollution from overwhelming the world.
This Council supports Plastic Free Shrewsbury in its journey to achieving Plastic Free Community Status and will undertake the following:
(i) Remove single-use plastic items from its premises;
(ii) Encourage local plastic free initiatives, promote local campaigns and support local events;
(iii) Elect a Councillor to represent the Town Council on the Plastic Free Shrewsbury Steering Group
