Transition Buxton isdelighted to announce that Laytons Chartered Accountants, of Manchester Road, Buxton, have become the latest business to sign up to work to reduce their use of single use plastic. They join over 30 other businesses and organisations in the town who have committed to finding ways to greatly reduce, and in due course perhaps eliminate their use of wasteful single use plastic. On behalf of the latest Plastic Free Buxton Champion, James Layton expressed his support for the scheme, saying “Plastic is a wonderful substance but our throw away attitude has led to it being a real pollution problem. We are very pleased to commit to reviewing our practices and removing unnecessary single use plastic from our operations. We have already made a start”
Derek Bodey, from Transition Buxton, expressed his delight at welcoming another business to the scheme which has already earned Buxton the first level of the SAS Plastic Free Community award. He said “It is wonderful that we have the support of yet another business in Buxton. Laytons commitment shows that single use plastic reduction is possible within an office environment. We would be delighted to welcome similar businesses to the scheme. Just go to our website to see how you can help tackle this problem and reduce your use of single use plastic and in turn the negative impact on our environment and health.”
As well benefitting all of us by reducing Leyton’s contribution to pollution, the effort is good for business. Increasingly consumers and business clients are keen to know that the companies they support are doing their bit for our environment and society. The scheme is open to any business or community group in Buxton.
