Plastic-conscious Newark woman urges others to adopt climate-friendly attitude to stop plastics going to landfill

A woman who is passionate about a scheme that offers a long-term purpose for single-use plastics has urged others to join in.

Alexandra Abraham, of Newark, has started making ecobricks ­— plastic bottles stuffed tightly with single-use plastics, which can then be re-purposed in a variety of ways.

It is her latest attempt to do her bit to prevent single-use plastics going into landfill.
