Amy, Ella and Skye explaining what the KAPtat campaign is all about.
So what is the KAPtat Campaign?
KAPtat is short for Kids Against Plastic tat, with tat being the pointless throwaway plastic toys that magazine publishers add to their comics and magazines.
Not only are the toys themselves pretty rubbish – hence the term ‘tat’ – they are made from cheap plastics that are not commonly recycled and often end up in landfill, incineration or littered in the environment. Due to the significant numbers of comics and magazines sold – and therefore tat produced (from oil) – they also impact on the climate crisis.
Kids Against Plastic’s very own CCO (Chief Campaign’s Officer), Skye Neville, is leading the fight against plastic tat, and Kids Against Plastic are proud to be supporting her.
