From recycling more of everyday items like glass and plastic bottles to reusing carrier bags or composting at home, there are lots of opportunities to promote how we can all reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.
"Recycle Week is now in its fifth year and this is the first time we'll be promoting a waste reduction message" said Jane Hall from Recycle Now. "As part of this we're encouraging people to sign up and pledge to either try something new or do more of what we already do".
Across the country there will be lots of events taking place to highlight local recycling services and ways that can help us all do our bit.
You can find out what is happening in your area by entering your postcode on the Event finder.
Whatever pledge(s) you choose to do - your efforts really will help to make a difference.
Thank you
I found it difficult to pick a pledge from the short list, because I already do all the stuff they list! I wanted to write my own pledge, which involved salvaging as much as possible from the builders skip in the garden , but there didn't seem to be that option.
So I finally went for promising to have a waste free day, which seemed a little more challenging than, say, promising to compost all my waste veg ;-)
It is all a very good idea, and if I fail in my promise, I have said I will go and sit in a compost bin!
Hope you manage your waste free day, but if not, I do hope you have an empty and clean compost bin you can sit in.
ReplyDeleteAs it happens.....
ReplyDeleteI do!
I have a couple of display ones I use on the composting stand...but I DID actually think I might sit in a "working" one....

There's no accounting for taste. ;)
