EVERYONE making just one small effort will help save the planet from climate change calamity, says Joanna Lumley.
And the campaigning actress claims ministers must do their bit by banning single-use plastic wrapping from food and goods.
The Ab Fab star said it would create a huge difference if manufacturers were made to use more eco-friendly materials.
And she hit out at retailers for automatically wrapping up products for no reason.
Joanna added: “If you can make an effort and do something good every day, like not buying plastic in the first place, you make an effort towards looking after what is our only home.”
But she fears the pandemic has escalated the environmental crisis as people are buying more single-use items to then discard over contamination fears.
Joanna, 74, urged Brits to buy washable masks not throwaway ones. Ministers have already banned single-use plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds.
And extra taxes will go on plastic packaging with less than 30 per cent recycled materials from April next year.
