ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANISATION, CITY TO SEA, WELCOMES HOME CITY OF BRISTOL SIGNING INTERNATIONAL PLASTICS DECLARATION

Responding to the news that Bristol has joined 19 other cities in signing the Eurocities joint Plastics Declaration, CEO of Bristol based environmental organisation City to Sea, Rebecca Burgess, said,

“I am delighted that Bristol is at the forefront of the global fight back against the flood of plastic pollution. This declaration harnesses the energy and commitment in cities across Europe to do what they can to tackle plastic pollution. At City to Sea we will continue to work with local and national politicians, businesses and individuals to prioritise reduce and reuse, over single use. Our pioneering, award winning water bottle campaign Refill is now expanding internationally and here in Bristol we are expanding the campaign to become the one-stop shop to live with less plastic. Using the free Refill app you will soon be able to find out where to refill not just your water bottle, but also your coffee cup, lunch-box, groceries and even your cleaning products and toiletries. We look forward to working with Bristol City Council and other stakeholders in the city to bring about lasting change.”
