For this image I was inspired by the many cafes that we have around Plymouth; one of these being ‘Boston Tea Party’. Many cafes have also introduced a scheme where if you bring your own reusable cup/mug you can get money off of the price of your drink. Boston tea however are different as they do not sell any of their drinks in disposable cups, instead you can either sit in and drink, or you have to bring your own reusable cup/mug for your drink. If you do not have your own reusable cup then they do have ones which you can purchase. Reusable cups are not only a great way of supporting and working towards a plastic free world, but also they help to keep your drink hotter for longer.

For this image, I found inspiration when I bought the product. For someone who does not usually shop in ‘Lush’, I was really surprised when I heard I heard about the scheme which they have started in each of their stores, whereby if you collect up five Lush product cups and bring them back into the store, not only will they give you a fresh new product for free, they will also take the empty pots, send them away to be cleaned and eventually they will be reused for more products, which will go onto be sold in stores.

The inspiration for this image came from the place where I do my shopping, the supermarket, ‘Tesco’. Although as a company they still have a long way to go in order to tackle plastic pollution, they have however brought in one small change, which is to use paper bags to store/carry fruit and vegetables, instead of using plastic bags. These paper bags can then either be recycled or if you have a compost bin, then you can dispose of them that way; this can add extra nutrients for your plants.
