To help combat the universal tsunami of plastic, Crosby\u2019s Soroptimists urge everyone to \u2018shop wisely\u2019 on the high street.<\/h5>\n

At the regional meeting<\/a> on International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) the club took part in a whistle-stop showcase of recent project work. Crosby\u2019s focus was their recycling initiative<\/a>. Members have been finding out much more about the recycling process and taking action to maximise their personal recycling efforts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Crosby Soroptimist Sue Rogers presented the club\u2019s update. An experienced scientist with a career in the consumer goods industry Sue is well placed to guide everyone through the \u2018minefield\u2019 of plastics available.<\/p>\n

For the future health of our planet, therefore, \u2018shop wisely\u2019 means looking at the symbol on plastic goods. (Easy on the high street \u2013 a challenge online!)<\/p>\n

PET (1) indicates the most common recyclable plastic. Our Sefton Council brown bins accept: \u201cPlastic bottles (including all plastic drinks bottles, shampoo bottles and household cleaner bottles. Bottles should be emptied and rinsed but please do not squash, you can put the tops back on.)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Soft (flexible) plastic may not be collected at the kerb-side but is now accepted in many supermarkets on the high street. So collect a bagful of peel-off film lids, bubble wrap, snack packets, etc and take them to the local collecting bin. They can be recycled.<\/p>\n

Sue also reminded everyone that \u2018shop wisely\u2019 also means, for example, increasing our use of refill options (such as dishwash liquid, household cleaners, shampoo) and using non-plastic shopping bags.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot we can do. Small steps, yes \u2013 but together we can make massive strides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
