Make shops use less plastic to save the environment.
Contact large companies like Tesco and Aldi and check up on how much plastic they already use. Then you could explain to them how they could get rid of the plastic e.g. use cardboard instead of plastic to store the eggs in, or cellulose, which is very similar to plastic but is compostable.
I think the world is getting worse everyday and just making a move like this could help a lot. I heard that some of the plastic we put in the recycling bins don't always get recycled. I am 13 years old and I want to grow up in a green environment and stop plastic affecting people's lives. If we want to change, we change now.
