Over 380 million single-use cups are used in Scotland every year, an average of 71 cups per person per year, which is one of the highest rates compared with other nations in the European Union.
Join us to discuss the Scottish Government's proposal to introduce a charge on single-use cups and to find out more about what you can do to help reduce this and become more sustainable.
Zero Waste Scotland will be there to talk about their 'Ditching Disposables" pilot projects in Stirling and Portobello.
There will be plenty of opportunity on the day for discussion, to share ideas and be inspired to take action.
