Dear Scrutiny Panel
This is succinct. Just 4 main points for now PLEASE read it
Please reply
1. Ban the sale of plastic bags NOW
Discarded carelessly we are MURDERING WILDLIFE
Don't do this in 2020. Do it NOW.
France have pretty well banned them. Why can't we?
We ALL have plenty reusable bags in our homes.
For a small donation my parish of St John offer strong reusable fabric bags. Brilliant. Offer this everywhere. Make it the only option.
Put a law in place NOW
Get Supermarkets to offer cardboard boxes paper bags like they used to, to pack groceries
2.My daughter and I work with young people for Youth Arts Jersey
PLEASE take time to look at a 2018 Summer Dance Academy we did with the children age 8 to 12 at St James in 4 days. It's a 35 minute dance show with a strong message about Single use plastic Please See
YOU TUBE
YOUTH ARTS JERSEY ' WAVES OF CHANGE' The kids were brilliant .
The feedback was so positive
It can be resurrected.
- Work toward making people uncomfortable buying bottles of water in plastic bottles
We can drink tap water filtered or unfiltered
If really needed only sell 5 litre bottles. They can be used as cloches for gardens when empty We can buy a soda stream for fizzy water
We an all use re useable bottles
Fizzy drinks sell only in cans. They are full of sugar anyway. We have an obesity problem. This is another issue too.
Consider we go back to refilling glass bottles
- Somehow we must address the use of plastic rings on 4 pack beer cans. Discarded carelessly we are MURDERING wildlife. It must be banned. Until it is can we have in place all supermarkets on island taking them off before point of sale. Get volunteers to do it if need be.
Let's be at the forefront of making these changes to save not only our island but the planet. If we can do it the world will follow.
Take a leap of faith and make those changes now
WE ARE KILLING OUR PLANET
