It has been estimated that globally some 2 million tonnes of plastic get washed into the seas each year from inland sites.
The Horseshoes public house is working towards being a PFP (Plastic Free Pub).
At this time, becoming a PFP is, of course, virtually impossible with so many people paying using plastic cards and cash becoming less of a means of payment. In future years plastic debit and credit cards may well become obsolete with different materials and methods being used to settle bills etc. Who can tell?
