As part of the programme, local businesses have pledged to reduce plastic use in a wide variety of ways, from ditching the straw, to changing to paper bags, bulk buying, refilling containers, removing single-use serving items, ditching plastic cutlery and the removal of plastic packaging. There have also been a variety of events in the town to help reduce plastic, from coffee mornings to litter picks and group talks to empower others to make the change. And, of course, there's been buy-in from public and civic organisations such as the town council, Cittaslow Llangollen, the chamber of trade and local schools. Indeed, I recently visited Ysgol y Gwernant in the town, and the pupils there spoke very passionately about how they wanted to tackle the use of single-use plastic. So, congratulations to Llangollen, and let's hope that many other communities across Wales follow their example in becoming plastic free.
