Sick of Plastic Dunshaughlin

Welcome to Sick of Plastic! It was formed in 2018 by Friends of the Earth and VOICE Ireland to empower communities to take action on single use plastics.

Personal change makes a lot of difference, but it's system change that we really need. We need to put pressure on supermarkets and decision makers to eliminate unecessary plastic.

So, Sick of Plastic wants 4 things.

1. Supermarkets to reduce plastic packaging.

2. A deposit and return scheme for plastic bottles and aluminium cans, nationwide.

3. A tax on single use coffee cups and the promotion of reuse.

4. Ban single use plastics, like straws and cutlery.

Despite introducing the plastic bag tax back in 2002, we’re taking more plastic packaging home (in our reusable shopping bags) than ever! Let's change that.

We need to grab Aldi's attention!

If you want to see a designated Zero-Waste section in their new store in Dunshaughlin, please send an email to Mr. Padraig Barry, Communications Director of Aldi Ireland at [email protected].

We have 5 simple steps to how Aldi might introduce this area to Dunshaughlin. Here's a letter format which includes those 5 steps, and a message to Aldi. Feel free to use this in your email! Of course adding your own bits if you have more to say than what's there.
