The Green Thing (first published in West Sussex County Times)

31 May 2022/in Eco News/by Marianne Lindfield

Checking out at the supermarket, the young cashier suggested to the much older woman, that she could bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologised and explained, “We didn’t have this ‘green thing’ back in my earlier days.”  She was right in that my generation didn’t have […]

For all our sakes – Stop using Peat (first published in West Sussex County Times)

19 May 2022/in Eco News/by Marianne Lindfield

No doubt you have heard that for a healthy planet, we should use peat-free compost, but do you know why, or what exactly is peat? Peat is soil made up of organic matter that has only partially rotted down. The lack of oxygen and the acidic nature of waterlogged peat bogs prevent bacteria and fungi […]

On owning an eco pet by John Thompson (first published in West Sussex County Times)

16 December 2021/in Eco News, Health and wellbeing, Seasonal celebrations/by Marianne Lindfield

  As the time of seasonal exchange of presents approaches, many people may be considering gifting an animal. The number of dogs and cats in the UK has shot up to 12 million of each. They undoubtedly make great pets and bring enormous pleasure but these large numbers bring difficulties as well as delights. The […]

The Mystery by Clive Cobie (first published in West Sussex County Times)

11 December 2021/in Biodiversity & Nature, Climate change, Eco News, Ecology/by Marianne Lindfield

Beneath our feet is a world that many do not even consider to be part of us, yet within two handfuls of healthy soil are more living organisms than people on our planet. It is within the first four inches that most food chains start; at the microscopic levels, bacteria eating protozoa and nematodes. These […]

Sussex teenagers unite to take action on climate by Max Moorcroft (first published in West Sussex County Times)

7 December 2021/in Biodiversity & Nature, Children & nature, Eco News, Ecology, Education, Events, Youth Eco Forum/by Marianne Lindfield

Sussex Green Living’s Youth Eco Forum is a young persons’ environmental group where we speak about current news and creatively demonstrate climate activism in many forms. The YEF was founded in June 2020 in the hope of connecting like-minded teenagers to make a difference for our planet during a period of disconnection… so we started […]

Remembrance by Morag Warrack (first published in West Sussex County Times)

30 November 2021/in Eco News, Seasonal celebrations/by Marianne Lindfield

  The UK’s recent petrol crisis was caused by many individuals doing the same thing at the same time. Due to media stories, people’s behaviour suddenly changed, causing nationwide problems.  When I commented to the attendant, “I bet you’ve been popular these last few days”, he replied, “Yes, I’m everybody’s best friend!  It’s madness.  We’ve […]

Local Locations for TerraCycle® recycling single use plastics by Rob Fryatt (first published in West Sussex County Times)

21 November 2021/in Eco News, Recycling, Single use plastic/by Marianne Lindfield
