The Curse of the Coffee Cup Lids

The Curse Of The Coffee Cup Lids

Bring an End to Single use plastics – We throw away a mountain of plastic coffee cup lids every week

Plastics are everywhere. In our air, food and water. This is adding to a broken ecosystem and adding to climate change in the manufacturing of cheap throwaway single use plastics. We must hold the companies that profit from single use plastics to account. Most people do not care. Convenience trumps any notion of sustainability and to try and convince the masses to change will be a futile feat. Targeting the corporations that manufacture and promote these items as well as shaking the government will help to break this weird and wasteful ideology.

Will you help?

Plastic is a monster that is choking our oceans and wild and marine life with its capacity to fly across the globe, dive into the oceans and morph into microplastics. The plastic monster replicates and divides itself and grows in strength day by day. We all feed this monster by supporting its corporations that reproduce it for short term profits. Consumers create the long term problems by their addictions to short term hits of happiness such as takeaway coffee with the plastic coffee lids, crisp packets thrown away after 3 minutes of pleasure.

Modelled Mass Concentration of Plastics in the Ocean
It’s estimated that between 1.15 to 2.41 million tonnes of plastic are entering the ocean each year.

What can we do?

Stop supporting the companies that produce throw away single use plastics.
