We need to educate people on the dangers of plastic and raise awareness. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a reality we all need to face together. Plastic is definitely not fantastic!\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Woodlands Dairy recently installed a reverse vending machine (RVM) in St Francis as part of its commitment to recycling and reducing its impact on the environment.
