Lochaber MSP Kate Forbes has been nominated for a national conservation award following the success of her ‘Final Straw’ campaign.
Final Straw urged the Scottish Government to ban plastic straws, and over the past nine months her lobbying has resulted in scores of organisations ditching them – estimated to run into the millions – in favour of biodegradable alternatives.
