      Yes, and it is a big concern of mine. Scientists alone use an amount of single use plastics equivalent to the same amount of tonnes of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as twice the number of cars in the whole of the UK!

      Yes, this is something I worry about every day. I try to make sensible choices like eating a vegan diet, using public transport and only flying for work-related trips but there are still so many problems. We need to tell the government to invest in re-newable energy, better public transport and recyling services, taxes on single-use plastic etc. They have to power to make decisions but we have the power to force changes so we all have a responsibility on this issue.

      Yes..and that is the reason I try to be as sustainable as much as I can to protect the environment. We can do this for instance by stopping wastage of food, using less electricity (air drying clothes), walking to work (I walk about 6 miles every day)…The more we do this the more we can decrease the levels of green house gases and protect the environment.
