The Last Straw for Wanstead campaign to persuade cafes, restaurants and bars to stop using plastic straws – which we launched last week – has been mirrored by the Evening Standard which announced on Monday it was seeking to encourage all of London to do the same.
We are hoping shortly to announce our first signatory coffee shop – it takes a bit of time to arrange supplies of alternative paper straws – but the extra impetus from the Standard’s campaign is fantastically welcome. You can read more about it here.
In the meantime, we encourage Wansteadium readers either not to take straws with their drinks or to ask if paper straws are available.
Victoria Walsh bet youâre right behind this!
