Home / Plastic Free Ramadan
A collaboration between Projects Against Plastic and BMSLG to reduce the use of plastic in a conscious move to help the environment.
Our Plastic Free Ramadan film explains why the campaign matters and how mosques, organisations and families can take part.
Campaign leaflet →As Muslims, we have a responsibility along with everybody else on the planet, to be guardians of the welfare of the world in which we live.
The world is sweet and green, and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerents in it in order to see how you act.As narrated in a hadith, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, reported in Sahih Muslim
Join us for our plastic free Ramadan campaign, where a collaboration between Projects Against Plastic and the Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership Group seeks to reduce the use of plastic for another successive Ramadan.
A few minutes of your time can make a lasting effect.
When you finish that bottle of coke or water, put that empty bottle back in your car, (less effort than throwing it away) and refill it to take with you to the mosque for salah or out with you when you need a drink.
Support your mosque in Plastic Free Ramadan. They can't succeed if you constantly throw that bottle away.
When you put your recycling out for the bin men, look at it! Then multiple it in your mind by 52. Overwhelming, isn't it! Can you or your family reduce it slightly? It doesn't take much thought.
Teach your children to put their litter in a bin, lead by example. When your children come home with school projects about the environment, take time to listen and understand what the school is attempting to do.
Make sure you and your family go through or past a green space on the way home from school or shopping or work, allow that few minutes to improve your families emotional and mental well-being.
Whether it is raising our voices in the Environmental Agency which reports to our government, we make sure we are heard regarding pollution that affects our communities' health or to the industrial land social housing is built on.
BMSLG in collaboration with Projects Against Plastic (PAP) ran a Training Workshop to support mosques and organisations. This workshop is the first part of the support framework designed to reach out and connect with communities.
