Find The Flag Competition

from Whitby Advertiser September 2022 Issue

What's On

We are delighted to introduce our brand new competition, 'Find the Flag' with the chance to win a fantastic prize! Our Whitby Advertiser mascot Sammie the Seal just loves building sand castles and sticking in one of his flags. Sammie is often quite careless and leaves his flags lying around, often on the pages of our magazine. All you have to do is find the location of Sammie's flag and you will enter the grand draw to win our 'Find the Flag' prize.

This month's flag...

We are looking for flag sponsors...

This month our prize is 'The House Under The Stars’, which has been kindly donated by the author Jenny Hesketh. For a chance of winning a copy, all you have to do is find the flag with the white stars which has been hidden on a page somewhere in this month's Whitby Advertiser.

SIMPLE, EASY WAYS YOU CAN REDUCE YOUR PLASTIC FOOTPRINT...

Here are a few simple ways to reduce your plastic footprint and help the environment.

Stop straws - If a straw is a must, instead of a plastic one purchase a reusable stainless-steel straw and carry it with you. Invest in reusable produce bags - A single plastic bag can take 1,000 years to degrade. Purchase or make your own reusable produce bag. Give up the gum – Chewing gum is made of a synthetic rubber which is actually plastic! Buy boxes over bottles - If your laundry detergent comes in a box it will be more easily recycled than a plastic bottle. Buy from bulk bins - If possible, purchase food, like cereal, pasta, and rice from bulk bins using your own container or bag. Not only will you save on packaging you’ll also save money. Take your own cup to coffee shops - Some establishments offer a reduction in price for this! Ditch the disposables - Disposable nappies are a huge source of landfill. Modern cloth nappies are nothing like the monstrosities of yesteryear. Check them out, reduce your baby’s carbon footprint and save money in the process. Squeeze your own - Make your own fresh squeezed juice or eat fruit instead of buying juice in plastic bottles. It’s healthier and better for the environment. Lead with your lunch - Pack your own lunch in reusable containers and bags. Use a real razor - with replaceable blades instead of a plastic disposable razor. These are all simple steps but if more of us follow them they have the potential to make a big impact on our joint plastic footprint.
