#SummerSolstice #WorldHumanistDay Nothing to do with man-made nonsense.

Friday June 21st 2019. Happy Summer Solstice. Happy World Humanist Day

The Summer Solstice. 

In the Northern Hemisphere, June 21st '2019' is the #SummerSolstice, the Longest Day of the year. It is the point in our celestial year when the sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky.

The scandal of single-use plastics. #NationalRefillDay

Today, June 19th 2019, is #NationalRefillDay. The UK uses 7.7 BILLION single use, plastic water bottles every year and the problem is getting greater every year.

We have no choice but to do something drastic about this, NOW. #WarOnPlastic #ReduceReuseRecycle #NationalRefillDay
