Recycling ... It starts with YOU!
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers! So how about getting together with your neighbours and starting a community recycling programme? You could set up bottle, paper, plastic, aluminium and clothing recycling banks and take turns to take everything to a local recycling point. In this way, your community will be helping to save limited raw materials. You will also help preserve landfill space and reduce the greenhouse gases that they produce.
Bin it, don't drop it !
Have you ever considered how time-consuming it is for local councils to remove litter from our streets? Or how much money it wastes that could be better spent on other services? Organise a litter collection day in your neighbourhood. Get some bin bags and see who can fill the most! Once a few of you take action, others will quickly join in!
Get growing!
Sick and tired of living in a concrete jungle? Flowers, plants and trees make our communities more welcoming places to live in. They also improve air quality by filtering out pollutants and creating places for small animals and insects to live in. So, organise teams and get planting in your neighbourhood today! Ask your local council for permission to plant trees and flowers along roadsides. Don't forget, every little bit helps!
