Budleigh Salterton is awarded national recognition as 'Plastic Free Community'
Budleigh Salterton has been awarded Plastic Free Community status by marine conservation charity Surfers against Sewage for its efforts to reduce single use plastic and protect the environment. Simple switches like taking a water bottle or a refill coffee cup helps to reduce throwaway bottles and cups. Or using paper instead of plastic wrapping helps to reduce single use plastic.
Plastic Free Budleigh joins Budleigh Lions and Clean Beach Budleigh with litter picks around the town. Please take your litter home and take care not to burn wood directly on the beach that leaves dangerous nails and sharp broken pebbles. The campaign, launched a year ago, aims to cut down on litter in the town, beach, and the surrounding countryside to protect people, pets and wildlife. There has been amazing support from the Town Council, Love Budleigh, Shop Budleigh, Budleigh Lions, St Peter’s School, the Otter Valley Association and many businesses and organisations in the town.
Special thanks to Budleigh Information Centre, Budleigh Unwrapped, L’image, Orchard Wholefoods, The Rowan Tree, The Edible Gardener and The Treasury. They have been successful in becoming Plastic Free Champions for Budleigh, and are a great asset to the town. Plus, there are many more businesses in the process of reducing single plastic use and signing up!
Many Budleigh organisations have signed as Community Allies, pledging to reduce single use plastic and spreading awareness. These include St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s School, the Community Workshop, the Art Club, the Food and Craft Market, Budleigh in Bloom, the Flower and Produce Show, Otter Valley Association, Budleigh Lions, the Games Club and Budleigh Runners.
