A group of celebs are making waves with a video encouraging people to cut down on plastic.
Tell me more.
Charity Tearfund has joined with celebrities encouraging people to cut down on their plastic waste this July. Tearfund released a video with celebrities such as award-winning actor Tamsin Greig and David Gyasi, star of Netflix's current hit series The Diplomat, alongside environmental campaigner Laura Young, aka Less Waste Laura. The video encourages people to take part in Tearfund’s new initiative - Rubbish Bin-go.
Rubbish Bin-go?
Rubbish Bin-go is a new social media challenge created by Tearfund - a month-long bingo game where the aim of the game is to reduce your plastic waste!
Even more celebs are backing the challenge, with big names like Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin, baker and author Martha Collison, children's TV presenter Gemma Hunt and brand founder and author Liz Earle getting involved.
