Plastic Glasses – could we follow?


Just saying because…
Another wonderful visit to Gent was enjoyed this week where liveability is at the core of the city with innovative solutions on traffic management and home areas, as well as strong recycling policies and the claim to be the vegetarian capital of Europe.

Climate Change issues run through most things so it was great to be accosted by campaigners from Gent Milieu Front (Ghent Environmental Front) on misuse of plastic beer ‘glasses’ at in use at the Ghent Six Day Cycle Race (our main reason for the visit). 

We enjoyed a good chat.
Hundreds of thousands of plastic glasses are used at this event so we were especially pleased to see these young people taking a stand against them – passing out publicity, supporters' stickers and explaining the cause for reuseables.
Something for Whitchurch and Basingstoke & Deane to actively promote to all events locally?
