The upcoming London Mayoral elections on 6 May will provide a vital opportunity for new commitments to be made to help eliminate single-use plastic water bottles in London. As London begins to emerge from lockdown, we must ensure that the future Mayor continues to work alongside us to protect our streets, our river and our ocean from unnecessary and harmful plastic pollution.
#OneLess pioneers and supporters have joined us in calling on Mayoral candidates to include the following commitments in their manifestos:
- Promote London as a city leading the charge to eliminate unnecessary single-use plastic and build awareness of the impact of single-use plastics on our ocean;
- Ensure sufficient and equal access to public refill points in London;
- Eradicate single-use plastic water bottles in GLA buildings and support London businesses to do the same.
