Managing and Reducing our waste
Good news story?
As a community, EH Parishioners can be justly proud of the considerable changes that we have all made in our recycling behaviour over the past years. Add to that the growing trend in sharing and repairing of goods and one might say we are doing well. Now we need to build on this success by reducing and preventing the waste we create in the first place.
If you want to understand the detail behind this then why not read the Waste and Recycling Report
And here is a taster.
Think for a moment about something you have bought in the last month. What were all the processes involved in producing this item? How much land, water, plastic and travel miles were used up, how many chemicals consumed? Could you have chosen something that wasted less, how much did you need it?
Reducing waste is not just good for the planet it is often also a way of saving money.
Some things we can change individually, for others we need to come together as a community. The Waste and Recycling Report shows a way forward. Have a read and be part of the good news story over the next 10 years.
