United Reformed Church, Buxton

Organised by Transition Buxton

Sue MacFarlane will talk about her experiences of trying to live without plastic: ‘A couple of years ago, I started to reduce the amount of plastic I buy and use. I was particularly interested in single-use plastic, such as bottled water, plastic bags, disposable coffee cups, etc – and so I tackled these things first. Last year, I started to make my own toothpaste and some of my household cleaning products so that I didn’t have to buy them in plastic. And, at the beginning of this year, I decided to make a conscious effort to live totally ‘plastic free’.” Sue now runs Sue’s Sustainables, a shop in Belper providing a range of goods to help people reduce their use of plastic. There will also be a chance to meet with members of Transition Buxton. https://tinyurl.com/y7l7yacy
