Summer is truly on the way, so there will be more time spent outside, on adventures and having picnics

May is a great month for spending time outdoors, as we have three, yes three, Bank Holidays!

What adventures do you have planned, or are you having a party for the King's Coronation?

Picnics can often be a sea of single-use wrappers, with crisps, chocolate bars and drinks being the major culprits.

Easy swaps can be made to reduce the impact of your picnic and ensure single-use items don't end up blown away into our precious environment.

Decant food at home into reusable tubs, take bags and cutlery - if you have invested in reusables, there is less chance of them being left behind

Check the packaging before you buy - Two Farmers crisps are plastic-free and for snacks for adventures: Outdoor Provisions use compostable wrappers

Choose cans or bottles of drinks over plastic bottles. They are easier to recycle at home and take reusable cups with you for hot drinks on the go.

Take all your rubbish home even if there is a bin, that way, you can sort into recycling and public bins often overflow.

Enjoy the Bank Holidays and Leave No Trace
