That this House celebrates Zero Waste Week 2015, which runs between 7 and 13 September 2015; notes that it is in its eighth year owing to the hard work of founder Rachelle Strauss, co-ordinating the project in her own free time; further notes that this campaign has been successful on social media in encouraging people, businesses and charities to do more to minimise their waste by promoting re-use; agrees that reusing and recycling is vital to the preservation of this planet; and calls on the House to legislate to reduce waste and promote re-use.
