This global organisation, Danone Harrogate Spring Water, already produces a staggering 200 million single-use plastic water bottles annually.
It now wants to rip up our precious woodland to expand and unleash tonnes more plastic pollution on the planet each year.
Join us to Save Rotary Wood, a special and very popular community green space, planted with school children two decades ago in the heart of Harrogate, to become a beautiful haven for local people and visitors to enjoy. Together we will send a clear message to do what's right by putting people, local wildlife and the wider planet before plastic and profit.
