Feedback
"I had such a wonderful time at The Plastic Free Gathering. A huge thank you for bringing together such an inspiring community, and to everyone who attended my presentation and shared your thoughts with me. Your kind messages and tags honestly made my day. I’ve learned so much from everyone who took part, and I was truly inspired by the heart and dedication behind all the projects and ideas. I’d love to keep the conversation going and find ways we can support each other’s work in reducing plastic pollution."
"Huge thanks for organising The Plastic Free Gathering. It was a fantastic event, bringing together so many people working to combat plastic pollution in many different ways."
"It was amazing to hear such thought provoking presentations and connect with like minded people. I really enjoyed how it was a mix of people who had different experiences but had one aim to tackle the plastic pollution problem. It was nice that there were people from charities, councils and academics in the field."
