Future Challenges Series focuses on Plastic Free Plymouth campaign

The Plymouth Athenaeum’s ‘Future Challenges Series’ continues with a talk on the Plastic Free Plymouth campaign.

Plymouth was awarded Plastic Free Community status earlier this year in recognition of the work of partners across the city to reduce single use plastics and plastic pollution.

The award came on the anniversary of Plymouth achieving Plastic Free Communities status for its waterfront, and the launch of the city’s ‘Plan for Plastics’.

Jackie Young, Environment Plymouth’s co-ordinator, will be providing this talk on the Plastic Free Plymouth campaign.
