19 Apr Earth Day
Sunday 22 April is World Earth day and this year’s theme is Ending Plastic Pollution.
As of 2015, the total plastic waste created by humans was estimated to be around 6,300 million metric tons. To help reduce plastic waste, there are many shops, restaurants and bars in Hammersmith town centre doing their bit for the planet by reducing their plastic usage.
At Lyric Hammersmith Bar & Grill, Costa, Starbucks and Pret a Manger, coffee lovers can enjoy money off their hot and cold drinks when using a reusable cup, while at the William Morris, drinks are served with biodegradable paper straws.
This Earth Day, why not make a pledge to help take care of the Earth?
