A message from Prof. Sir Ghillean Prance, our Patron:
“I could not be more delighted that Lyme Regis, the town in which I live, is turning green. This new intiative is vitally important and will set an example to many other communities. It will also be useful to me as I speak on environmental issues around the world that my own local community is addressing environmental issues. I urge you to support TURNLYME GREEN in every way possible.”
A message from Oliver Letwin MP:
“I am delighted that the issue of plastic bags is being raised in Lyme Regis. These bags cause significant environmental damage, and it is right that we should all be moving towards other, more environmentally friendly ways of carrying our shopping.”
A message from Caroline Lucas MEP:
‘This is a very timely and important campaign! British shoppers get through a staggering ten million plastic bags in one year, many of which take up to 1,000 years to decompose. I’d encourage everyone to get involved with this campaign, to refuse and reuse bags, and to press for legislation that makes both retailers and consumers think twice when it comes to free plastic carrier bags.’
Mukti Mitchell Director, The Low Carbon Lifestyle Tour & Mitchell Yachts Ltd. “Turn Lyme Green is a tremendously positive, dynamic and professional group. The Low Carbon Lifestyle Tour event that they held in Lyme Regis was one of the best organised and most enjoyable events of my tour of Britain, so I am sure that anything they do will be hugely effective and a pleasure to take part in.”
Sophia Tickell, Chairperson, SustainAbility “I am delighted to support Turn Lyme Green - an important initiative and one that many can learn from”.
