India has banned single-use plastics with their deadline starting next July. Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down and litter our oceans. Some of these products include candy sticks, plates, cups, plastic cutlery, wrapping and packing films, straws, candy sticks, and more. The rule states “The manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of (the) following single-use plastic, including polystyrene and expanded polystyrene, commodities shall be prohibited with effect from July 1, 2022”. Hopefully this lead will encourage the rest of the world to be a little kinder to our planet Earth.

Two weeks ago Lacey Shillinglaw noticed a bumblebee on the side of the road who was suffering from a crumpled wing. She had tried to move the bumblebee to some flowers for safety but the bee crawled back to Lacey and refused to leave. Lacey walked home with the bee who now refuses to leave her side. Lacey feeds the bee sugar water, honey, and jam and Lacey often takes her new pet outside to be among the flowers.
