Waste free February

Here’s a great challenge for February from the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, but to be honest it doesn’t matter where you live or what month it is. We could all do more to lower our carbon foot print , couldn’t we ?

The ‘Waste-Free’ Challenge

What does waste-free living actually mean? It means avoiding unnecessary waste and reducing the need for a rubbish bin (but don’t panic, we don’t expect you to lose the bin just yet!). There are huge positive environmental impacts to producing less waste:

• Fewer resources are used as raw materials – water, oil, energy, land, etc.
• Less waste will be sent to landfill and incineration
• It sends a message to businesses: we don’t want your waste
• Councils will spend less on landfill tax.
