Bianca Carr joins us in the studio To tell us all about her campaign the final straw,

She Made Me Do It!

Bianca Carr joins us in the studio to tell us about her UK campaign to get rid of single use plastics in every day life! The Final Straw Solent are a local environmental organisation focussing on raising awareness of the impact of single-use plastic pollution on our oceans and wildlife. Bianca and Lissie run the campaign and work with local businesses to reduce the amount of single-use plastic used and being disposed of across the solent area - so far over 200 businesses have signed up to the campaign pledging to cut back on their plastic consumption. They also run a community and schools outreach programme, running workshops and giving presentations to children and groups of all ages about the issue. This year the Final Straw Solent are coordinating a plastic-free day on the 8th May, to tie in with the 93rd birthday of Sir David Attenborough. To date, 80 schools have signed up to the day (approx 30,000 children), and will spend the day avoiding single-use plastic wherever possible - in lunch boxes and out of school. The children will be taking part in activities, art and lessons about the impact of plastic on ocean health, and the team are hoping that it will lead to more children and families choosing to avoid single-use plastic as much as possible in the future.'
