GREAT SCOT AWARD FOR SUNNYSIDE AND ULLAPOOL PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Early day motion 1774, tabled 29 October 2018 by David Linden (Scottish National Party). Signed by 8 members.

That this House congratulates the pupils and staff of Sunnyside and Ullapool Primary Schools on winning the Editor's Choice Award at the 2018 Sunday Mail and Steven Brown Art Great Scot Awards for its campaign work to reduce the use of plastic straws; notes that the campaign efforts led to 14 bars, restaurants, cafes and businesses in Ullapool as well as other large organisations such as Glasgow City Council and Caledonian MacBrayne to stop offering drinking straws or to switch to non-plastic alternatives; and commends the engaging use of social media to highlight the campaign which included the #NaeStrawAtAw hashtag.
