Elizabeth II was seriously concerned about the state of the environment. To do this, she decided to personally influence the reduction of the amount of waste produced in the royal household.
Now, in Buckingham Palace and other residences of the Queen of Great Britain, it is strictly forbidden to use disposable tableware and plastic straws.
Moreover, the ban applies to both the royal family and its staff. The latter, however, if they use disposable tableware, then all of it will certainly be compostable or biodegradable.
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Holyrood Palace in Scotland will now be able to use tableware made of porcelain, earthenware or recyclable cardboard.
Of course, globally the rejection of plastic by the royal family will not affect the problem of ecology, but apparently, the queen expects that many will follow her example – and then the impending environmental catastrophe can be avoided.
