Due to this campaign, Tesco announced this week that all disposable plastic straws will be removed from their shelves by the end of 2019 and their entire range will be replaced by eco-friendly alternatives. Plastic straws will also be phased out from all of their cafes, which will take over 1 million plastic straws out of circulation every year. It's taken over a year to come this far and I can’t thank you all enough - your signatures, shares and social media action made every bit of difference. This reduction of plastic waste will give our seabirds and marine life a better chance of survival and our rivers and coastlines will soon be much cleaner thanks to you.
