Plastic Bottles for Buckfast Tonic Wine

Sponsor

My name is Angela Barron (previously Graham), I live in Central Scotland and enjoy making the most of the countryside. I\'m fed up of broken glass ruining my outdoor pursuits and I know lots of other people are too. Ideally I\'d like to see an end to all litter but in the mean time I\'d like to see a reduction in the broken glass on our streets and countryside. I\'ve noticed that the vast majority of broken glass I see is from Buckfast bottles and that is why I decided to start this particular petition. Many other producers of alcoholic beverages popular with under-age drinkers(such as white ciders and various alco-pops) have already made the switch to plastic, which shows their commitment to social responsibility - it is my sincere hope that Buckfast Abbey will do the same.
