Plastic grass laid down over concrete pavers at #EdFringe Hunter Square outdoor seating serves no function other than aesthetics

Aesthetics aren’t worth the #plasticpollution and #climatecost 🌱🛢️

Thanks Newy Council for backing the community and supporting climate justice, and to the councillors who spoke and voted in our favour.
This is a powerful reminder that people power works.

A key part of EdFringe’s #climateresiliency should be mitigating its existing #climate impacts

One easy area to improve is to replace the hundreds of metres of plastic grass laid on the festival venues with #sustainable alternatives like jute/sisal outdoor carpets or reusable permeable paver mats

Thank you for creating such a wonderful biodiverse garden for urban wildlife!
We need more projects like this to support threatened uk wildlife

Well over 12% of global micro- #PlasticPollution originates as plastic grass fibres and infill crumb.

Stop replacing withering #nature with plastic imitations.
It’s not just the grass that suffers

A study by Ryan-Ndegwa et al. (2024) links the chemicals of concern (COCs) leached from plastic grass to ‘endocrine, cardiometabolic, and neurological toxicity’
