Laura Eccott, Chichester and Arun Green Party Coordinator, said: “Going plastic free is a great step towards lifelong changes that will have a positive impact on the world around us, from reducing your carbon footprint to preventing plastic waste harm to wildlife, whilst also enabling people to put their money into supporting local sustainable businesses.”

The organisations that will be involved in Friday’s picnic event are: Lavant WI, WSFWI (West Sussex Federation of WI), Eco-Chi, Chichester Festival Theatre, Transition Chichester, the Rotary and Chichester and Arun Green Party.
